Emadd9 Last night I had too much to drink, Em7/D Sitting in a club with so many fools, C Playing to rules, F Trying to impress, but feeling rather Amempty, Am Am/G F I had a - Gnother Cdrink... (A Cdrink, a drink ...a drink ...a drink!)

[Coda] Dsus2 ||: Ah----ah, ah, ah-ah, ah, ah-ah, ah-------! :|| [Repeat] ============================================================== I've seen various versions of the lyrics for Verses 3 and 6, and after listening repeatedly on headphones I think the one in the tab sounds closest to me, but the ones below also sound okay too. So take your choice...

Below is the lyric I see most often quoted, and I think is in a published songbook, but that doesn't necessarily mean it was actually approved by the band, I've seen lots of dodgy transcriptions in sheet music. The 'feel as if I...' seems garbled and just doesn't seem to scan right to me...
