i had a drink about you last night

Verse 1:
          G
I may be ten foot tall
                     Em
As brave as all the tigers in Bengal
                        Am     F
My shoulders broad and wide
                           D
And seen from space with just the naked eye


Verse 2:

             G
I'm calling Superman
                  Em
To tell him Lois looks like Genghis Khan
                           Am      F
I'm fearless through and through
                  D
I'll even take a dip in Barrymore's pool


Chorus:

                G     C
I never lost a fight
                  Em    Am
But today I just might
                             D
Don't hold me close to the light
C                                     C  D  G
  I had a drink about you last night


Verse 3:

            G
So now I'm running scared
                        Em
A long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs
                    Am     F
I tiptoe round the pain
                        D
Till wood on fur sends splinters to my brain


Chorus:

                G     C
I never lost a fight
                  Em    Am
But today I just might
                             D
Don't hold me close to the light
C                                     C  D
  I had a drink about you last night
C                                     C  D  G  G7
  I had a drink about you last night


Middle 8:

                   F   Dm
I had a drink and you swam into my vision
    Am                      E
My babycham and brandy was boiling up
                      E7
And fizzing with the truth
G                    F
  I had a drink for two
     Dm
But somebody was missing
     Am                               E   E7        F    Fm    C    Em    F    Am    G
Cos raising up the dead is something Superman can't do


(Key change)

                C     F
I never lost a fight
                  Am    Dm
But today I just might
                             G
Don't hold me close to the light
F                                     F  G
  I had a drink about you last night
F                                     F  G  C
  I had a drink about you last night
