Boxing Night

(início)

Intro: G5 (Hammer the root note in all instances of this chord)
Verse 1:
G5
It's boxing night,
            B5
(And) I'll celebrate in style
   G5
In boxer shorts and spirits, floor littered
     A5
With ghosts of bottles past
          G5
There's a naked hush
  B5
Clawed only in breath and of pulse
       G5
Of our heart that is kicking
                A5                   G5
As though it is desperate to be born
Interlude: G5
Verse 2:
G5
And I'm in hostage blind
B5
Deaf to the dim outside
     G5
Good Glasgow could burn to it's timber* tonight
        A5
And I'd barely blink and I...
         G5
Well the clock just stopped
            B5
You can cut that on my fucking headstone*
      G5
Won't something move so I stop
          A5
Staring a hole into the phone
Chorus:
                 C5
You can get me at home
                 D5
With a drink to ill health
                 C5
Just me and these walls
               D5
And a beaten up chair
          G5
On boxing day
Interlude: G5, B5, G5, A5
Verse 3:
        G5
This is boxing night
    B5
And someone lost an eye
       G5
Well I swear I've lost the last drop
            A5
Of whatever kept me awake alive
       G5
And I fell in the forth
From a heavy right hook
       B5
To our blushed and swollen face
    G5
And in a single blow it's murdered
                 A5
And then it takes years to waste away
     G5
And I can't call you all mine anymore
         B5
And I can't call you full stop
     G5
But you know you can call me up anytime
            A5
Call me whatever the fuck you want
Chorus:
                 C5
You can get me at home
                    D5
With a drink to ill health
                  C5
Just me and these walls
               D5
And a beaten up chair
                  C5
You can get me at home
                  D5
With a drink to ill health
                 C5
Just me and these walls
              D5
And my beaten up chair
        G5
On boxing day
