The chordings for all the other versions of this song didn't sound right to me. So I
decided to try it myself. The song has a root of
F major, so all the chords are in relations.
Thanks to Tim & Cheryl Wartman for doing the original chording and words.
Standard Tuning
Enjoy!

The Old Black Rum
I drank Fsixteen doubles for the Cprice of Fone
BbTrying to find the cFourage to taGlk Cto one
I asked her Bbfor Ca daFnce, not a BbsecCond glaFnce
My night had just Cbegun
WeFll I drink Cto thFe Father or the Holy Ghost
BbI'm kneelingF at the altarG of Cmy nightly post
So I'll raiBbse thCe glFass, not the firBbst oCr laFst
Come joiCn me in thFis toast
Chorus
Because the Cold black rum's got a Fhold of me
Like a Fdog wrapped roBbund my lCeg
And the oCld black rum's got a hFold of me
Well I'm hFere for anoCther dFay, BbHey
Well I'm hFere for anoCther dFay
Well the queen of George Street just a walking on by.
Walking on by with some guy who don't care
That she stood in line since half past nine.
And spent three hours on her hair....on her hair
Well her friend is looking at me with an evil grin
I think the bloody racket might soon begin
I must have said something to the George Street queen
and boys I'm joining in
Chorus
So I drank all of my money and I slept out in the rain
Every day is different but the night are all the same
You never see the sun on the old black rum
But you know I'm gonna do it again
chorus
