Home for a Rest Spirit of the West
Spirit of the west - Home For A Rest
This Intro is played once then along with the chorus
You'll [Am]have to ex[G]cuse me, I'm[C] not at my best[F]
I've been [C]gone for a [G]month
I've been drunk since I [C]left
These [Am]so called va[G]cations
Will [C]soon be my [F]death
I'm so [C]sick from the [G]drink
I need home for a [C]rest ...
Then it breaks into a verse with fast paced chords:
We [Am]arrived in De[G]cember and[C] London wa[F]s cold
So we [C]stayed in the [G]bars
Along [C]Charing Cross [G]Road
We [Am]never saw [G]nothin' but[C] brass taps an[F]d oak
Kept the [C]shine on the [G]bar
With the [C]sleeves of our [G]coats
Chorus:
You'll [G]have to excuse me, I'm [C]not at my best[G]
I've been [C]gone for a [F]week
I've been [C]drunk since I [G]left
These [G]so-called vacations
Will [C]soon be my [G]death
I'm so [C]sick from the [F]drink
I need [G]home for a [C]rest ...
Verse #2
Eus[Am]ton Station t[G]he train j[C]ourney nor[F]th
In [C]the 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
[Am]By the light of [G]the moon s[C]he'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[Am]he 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
[C]And don't lift up m[G]y head
'[C]till the twelve bel[G]ls at noon
Chorus
