Вступление
[Intro]
CGEADG
[Chorus]
GD
Oh, the odour of the ale and the smell of tobacco, the scent of the old sour tea
G N.C.
All around joy and laughter bringing me more misery.
GC
I hear old Slim twanging on the jukebox singing of a life's that’s free
GEA7DG
I see you in the bar from the jailhouse window drinkin' with a fool like me
[Verse]
GD
Yesterday it was a big prospector last weekend was me
GD
Today I see you got yourself a buffalo man who will the next fool be?
GC
Well, I wonder will he smile when you've got all his money will he finish up where I am?
GEA7DG
I see you in the bar from the jailhouse window drinkin' with another man
[Verse]
GD
Corner of the bar sits the newspaper editor guess he’s got his paper to bed
GD
Pretty soon now they’ll read all about it read all the things you've said
GC
See him frownin’ as he reads the first copy scans it line by line
GEA7DG
I guess it’s gotta be around 3:30 cause old Jimmy's always on time
[Chorus]
GD
Oh, the odour of the ale and the smell of tobacco, the scent of the old sour tea
G N.C.
All around sounds of laughter bringing me more misery.
GC
I hear old Slim twangin' on the jukebox singing of a life's that’s free
GEA7DG
I see you in the bar from the jailhouse window drinkin' with a fool like me
[Verse]
GD
See the black eye on the tall young stranger Oh He’s No friend of mine
GD
How was I to know that he's a policeman none of you told me in time
GC
See Bob Tudawali and a great white hunter an old Rum Jungle Jack
GEA7DG
Laughin’ and drinkin' none of ya thinkin' of the thirsty pris'ner out the back
[Verse]
GD
Every moment is an hour of torture how the long hours pass
GD
Tasting in my imagination every frosted glass
GC
Tex, When I'm free, I’m gonna find and seek him and find that fiend of hell
GEA7DG
The man who built the window of the lockup facing the garden of the Vic Hotel
[Chorus]
GD
Oh, the odour of the ale and the smell of tobacco, a mingle of the old sour tea
G N.C.
All around is joy and laughter bringing me more misery.
GC
I hear old Slim twangin' on the jukebox singing of a life's that’s free
GEA7DG
I see you in the bar from the lockup window drinkin' with a fool like me
[Tag]
A7DG
with another fool like me
GEA7DG
Well, I'm barred from the bar by the bars on my window and you're with a fool like me
[Outro]
