After seeing the other tab here was slightly off I felt compelled to submit my
own. This is how i play the song and I'm fairly confident it's right. There might
be an instrumental section I missed but who really cares?
Enjoy, Olly.
Gawn geez a shot, chuck a doggie a bone,
Or a penny for me rattlin’ can,
D(let ring)
As sure as Christ it’s a bitter pill,
But if you won’t have me, yer sister will,
N.C.
Oh kiss me Maggie & take me home, For I sure dinnae feel like dyin’ alone,I’lDl cart me arse dooDn Surry Hills D& calDl her outD tDhis evenin’,

Verse 1
DGo on, go well, ye’rGe no catch o’ mine,
DYer clothes in rags, ye reek o’ fags E& old green gAinger wine,
DMy sisters aye a leezie into the Gdrinkin’, dogs & cards,
DMy poor departed Father couldn’At flog her at thDe yards,
DI’m a man o’ some renown ‘JacGk the Lad’ about the town,
DWe’ll share a plate of oysters, crack thEe neck o’ BiAlly Brown,
DSly grog & salty treaGts, I’ll not grant yer wish,
DI’m promised to the toll collectoAr boy upon thDe bridge.
Chorus
DLike good whisky in bad Gwounds,
DLike honey on a toothache, you’lEl never bAe mine,
DTho’ we can dance, b’Jesus, weG’ll swing like the razors,
DOf Kate Leigh &aAmp; TiDlly Devine.
Verse 2
DWhy wait until yer dancin’ shoes arGe scuffed and in the bin?
DI’ll stitch my holey duds, scrape thEe whiskers from mAe chin,
DWe’ll get ye down yer scarlet gown, I??G?ll steal you somethin’ blue,
DI’d waltz off Millers point before AI walk the aisle witDh you!
