[Verse 1]
   GTake me back to where the ale is goldenG  
And Cwhere the rum is Gblack
Where the Gwelcome's bright, where lamplights invite
Through a Cdoorway's thinning Dcracks
See the Bmdancers Aswing by the DwindEmows
Looking Cin from the falling Gsnow
For I Dturned away to the break of day
Singing, off to work I GgoEm  G  Em  C  D  
[Verse 2]
Well, Gthere was no end to our unrest
We couldn't Cleave that town too Gsoon
'Til we Gfound ourselves by the benches
Our Cguardian, the Dmoon
And then the Bskies grew Aall the DblackerEm  
And Crain came a'drumming Gdown
And it Dfouled our nest and we got no rest
Take me Cback to that BfucAmking GtownEm  G  Em  C  D

AmLaughter, a Dsong of the Emfree
CDrink this Gtoast proDposed to Gthee

CDrink this Gtoast proDposed to Gthee
[Verse 3]
Now we're Gstanding by the clockworks
A Crope around our Gnecks
Placing Gbets on what strange morning
We shall Cgreet after this Drest
And it's Bmlate on doomsAday eDvening
EmAnd we Cslept all afterGnoon
Craving Ddays of yore so feared before
Crying, C"set, you Bsun Amand Gmoon!"

Where were Gyou when the gates were Bmopen?
When the Cguard had sleepy Geyes?
When we Gfirst shattered our Bmwindows
