Verse One
You'll have to excuse me, I'm not at my best
I've been gone for a month, I've been drunk since I left
These so called vacations will soon be my death
I'm so sick from the drink, I need home for a rest
Verse Two
We arrivAmed in December and GLondon was cold C F
We staCyed in the baGrs along Charing CrFoss Road
We nevAmer saw nothinG' but brass taCps and oak F
Kept the shineC on the bar wiGth the sleeves ofF our coats G
Chorus
You'll haGve to excuse me, I'm not at myC best G
I've been gone fCor a weekF

I'm so sickC from the drink F
I need homeG for a rest C
