When the C9hangover strikes and I F9open my post And the C9coffee is on and I'm F9burning my toast I let the Fbattle comBb7mence
I see a Cmaj7sun in the trees and a Dmdraught at the door Em Bb7 [Fill1] With my head in my lap there's a day to explore
Ab7 G7 C9 F9 C9 [Fill2] But I'm left without sense VERSE: Chords: C9 x3233x Bb7 x13131 Em x79987 F9 x8788x Cmaj7 x35453 Ab7 4345xx F 133211 Dm x57765 G7 3234xx
As the C9hangover strikes and I F9turn on the tap But the C9water's too loud and I'm F9caged by the fact That the Fbattle's not Bb7lost Is it the Cmaj7hair of the dog or the Dmbaa of the lamb Em Bb7 [Fill1] In a sheepish attempt to be half of the man that I might be
Ab7 G7 C9 F9 C9 [Fill2] Or was REFRAIN: Chords: F 133211 Dm x57765 Ebmaj7 x68786 Bb7 x13131 Em x79987 G7 3234xx Cmaj7 x35453 Fm x9 10 10 98

When the C9hangover strikes and the F9mirror reveals That it's C9midnight or bust and a Fdrink does appeal Now the Fbattle is Bb7won So the Cmaj7cure of the can pours its Dmheart out to me Em Bb7 [Fill1] Though I'm feeling locked up and I can't find the key Ab7 G7 C9 F9 C9 [Fill2] Well, no damage was done
[repeat REFRAIN] OUTRO: Notes: I've tried to show how you might play this lovely part but you should feel your way with this, yourself. Play slowly and gently.
