You'll [Am]have to ex[G]cuse me, I'm [C]not at my [F]best
I've been [C]gone for a [G]month, I've been [F]drunk [C]since [D]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 [F]home [C]for [D]a [C]rest.
Verse:
We ar[Am]rived in [G]December and [C]London was [F]cold
We [C]stayed in the [G]bars along [F]Charing Cross Road
We [Am]never saw [G]nothin' but [C]brass taps and [F]oak
Kept a [C]shine on the [G]bar with the [F]sleeves of our [G]coats
CHORUS:
You'll [G]have to excuse me, I'm [C]not at my [G]best
I've been [C]gone for a [F]week
I've been [G]drunk since I left
And 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 [F]rest
Take me home....

Verse:
[Am]Euston [G]Station the [C]train journey [F]North
[C]In the buffet [G]car we [F]lurched back and forth
Past [Am]old crooked [G]dykes through [C]Yorkshire's green [F]fields
We were [C]flung into [G]dance as the [F]train jigged and [G]reeled

Verse:
By the [Am]light of the [G]moon, she'd [C]drift through the [F]streets
A [C]rare old perfu[G]me, so [F]seductive and sweet
She'd [Am]tease us and [G]flirt, as the [C]pubs all closed [F]down
Then [C]walk us on [G]home and [F]deny us a [G]round
CHORUS:
You'll [G]have to excuse me, I'm [C]not at my [G]best

Verse:
The [Am]gas heater's [G]empty, it's [C]damp as a [F]tomb
The [C]spirits we [G]drank now [F]ghosts in the room
I'm [Am]knackered again, come [G]on [C]sleep take me [F]soon
And [C]don't lift up my [G]head 'till [F]the twelve[G] bells at noon
CHORUS:
You'll [G]have to excuse me, I'm [C]not at my [G]best
I've been [C]gone for a [F]month
I've been [G]drunk since I left
And 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 [F]rest
