Home For A Rest Spirit Of The West
(slowly)
[Am]You'll have to [G]excuse me, I'm [C]not at my [F]best
I've been [C]gone for a [G]month
I've been [C]drunk since I left
These so called vacations
Will soon be my death
I'm so sick from the drink
I need home for a rest
(Quickly)
[Am]We arrived in De[G]cember and Lo[C]ndon was c[F]old
[C]We stayed in the [G]bars
[F]Along Charing Cross Road
[Am]We never saw not[G]hin' but bra[C]ss taps and [F]oak
[C]Kept the shine on the ba[G]r
[F]With the sleeves of our [G]coats
Chorus:
[G]You'll have to excuse me, I'm no[C]t at my [G]best
[C]I've been gone f[F]or a week
[G]I've been drunk since I left
[G]These so called vacations, Will [C]soon be my death[G]
[C]I'm so sick from the dri[F]nk
I need h[G]ome for a res[C]t
[Am, D]-
Euston Station the train journey North
In the buffet car we lurched back and forth
Past old crooked dikes through Yorkshire's green fields
We were flung into dance as the train jigged and reeled
CHORUS
By the light of the moon, she'd drift through the streets
Her rare old perfume, so seductive and sweet
She'd tease us and flirt, as the pubs all closed down
Then walk us on home and deny us a round
CHORUS
The gas heater's empty, it's damp as a tomb
The spirits we drank, now ghosts in the room
I'm knackered again, come on sleep take me soon
And don't lift up my head 'till the the twelve bells at noon
CHORUS
(For the chorus it changes from "week" to "month" once in a while...you'll figure it out.)
