The Old Black Rum (Great Big Sea) Chords transcribed by Barry O'Brien
I drank Gsixteen doubles for the Dprice of Gone. CTrying to find the courage to Dtalk to one. I asked her Cfor a Gdance. Not a Csecond Gglance My night had just Dbegun.
When I drink to the Father or the Holy Ghost. I'm kneeling at the altar of my nightly post. So I'll raise the glass. Not the first or last. Come join me in this toast. (Chorus)
Because the Dold black rum's got a Ghold of me. Like a Cdog wrapped round my Dleg. And the Dold black rum's got a Ghold of me. Well I Clive for anoDther Emday, CHey. Well I'll Clive for anDother Gday.
Well the queen of George Street just came 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). Her friend is looking at me with an evil grin. I think a bloody wracked might soon begin. I must have said something. To the George Street queen. The boys are 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 X 2)
