Spirit of the west - Home For A Rest This Intro is played once then along with the chorus

You'll ^Amhave to ex^Gcuse me, I'm^C not at my best ^F I've been ^Cgone for a ^Gmonth I've been drunk since I ^Cleft These ^Amso called va^Gcations Will ^Csoon be my ^Fdeath I'm so ^Csick from the ^Gdrink I need home for a ^Crest ...

Then it breaks into a verse with fast paced chords:

We ^Amarrived in De^Gcember and^C London wa^Fs cold So we ^Cstayed in the ^Gbars Along ^CCharing Cross ^GRoad We ^Amnever saw ^Gnothin' but^C brass taps an^Fd oak Kept the ^Cshine on the ^Gbar With the ^Csleeves of our ^Gcoats

Chorus:

You'll ^Ghave to excuse me, I'm ^Cnot at my best ^G I've been ^Cgone for a ^Fweek I've been ^Cdrunk since I ^Gleft These ^Gso-called vacations Will ^Csoon be my ^Gdeath I'm so ^Csick from the ^Fdrink I need ^Ghome for a ^Crest ...

Verse #2

Eus^Amton Station t^Ghe train j^Courney nor^Fth In ^Cthe buffet car we^G lurched back and forth Am G C F

Past odd crooked dykes C G Through Yorkshire's green fields C G We were flung into dance C G As the train jigged and reeled Chorus Verse #3

^AmBy the light of ^Gthe moon s^Che'd drift^F through the streets C G

A rare old perfume so seductive and sweet Am G C F She'd tease us and flirt as the pubs all closed down C G Then walk us on home and deny us a round Chorus Verse #4

T^Amhe gas heater's^G empty, it^C's damp as^F a tomb C G C G

And the spirits we drank like a ghost in the room Am G C F I'm knackered again, come on please take me soon

^CAnd don't lift up m^Gy head '^Ctill the twelve bel^Gls at noon

Chorus
