Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
There are other guitar parts and a mandolin part going on, but I didn't tab
them. This works well for one guitar.

Here's to you, I sing for my daddy-o
As I lay him down to sleep
It's been so long since I lost my daddy-o
Hope he's watching over me
2, 3, 4...
Verse 1
Wednesday night is mornin' now as I'm walking in the rain
Birds are screaming in my ear, they're driving me insane
Half the clouds are empty so the sun bursts through the sky
The puddles show reflections of a face about to die
Just around the corner I was going round the bend
I ran into a staggerin' fool who said he knew my name
He poured himself a whiskey and his face began to glow
Two men without an answer like a dog without a bone
Pre-chorus 1
Bringin in the new year as the bells began to ring
Fats is in the corner, she's just about to sing
Time to get another before the final shout
You should have heard him roarin when they dragged the bugger out
Chorus
And we'll never see the likes of you again
Verse 2
Jimbo came from slummin' town, a cold and dreary place
To summerland he found himself, the sun shone on his face
Met a girl called Minnie Pearl, swore she'd always be his girl
Happily ever after till the tide ran out again
Pour me all your sorrows and I'll drink till you are dry
I'll love you in the mornin, Christ I'll love ya till you die
I'll never leave so never grieve, I'll be back before you know
But Jimbo fell into a well and never rambled home
Pre-chorus 2
Carried all his troubles in an unforgivin bag
Back and forth through painted brick the colours all seemed bland
I've traveled all these years, he said to only get this far
So he crossed the street, found a seat, his home is now a bar
Chorus
And we'll never see the likes of you again
No we'll never see the likes of you again
Bridge
no chords, drums, fiddle, mandolin, at first)
There must be more to life than this poxie life
All the agro, all the pain
So he disappeared into his final beer
But the glass was empty once again, again, again...
Break
guitar and fiddle)
Verse 3
Woke up in an awful state, dreamt I was at Peter's gate
Beggin for his mercy and the crimes that were at hand
Told me he was much amused to see the life I had abused
Best be on the way, but have a swig before you go
Pre-chorus 1
Final chorus:
And we'll never see the likes of you again
No we'll never see the likes of you again
No we'll never see the likes of you again!
End on D
There it is. Enjoy!
