then you're doing it right. Simply keep that chord strum going, tight, choppy and loud. 
Capo 8th
DThe beer, the beer, the Gbeer, the beer
The Dbeer don't make you a Gman
No it Dtakes something elGse
SAsus4omething I'll never havGe
And a Dbeer, a beer, a Gbeer, a beer
A Dbeer makes you feel Ggood
Like Dif you wanted you Gcould
Asus4Kick anybody's Gass
  D                 G
 Aknife,  Aknife,  Aknife,  Aknife
A Dknife makes you feel Gstrong
With a gDun you're never Gwrong
Asus4Everybody try to stay caGlm I think the safety's on
A car, a car, a car, a car
A car means you can go
Whenever you want to
With an FM radio
Guitars, guitars, guitars, guitars
Guitars, Thin Lizzy rocks
So dust off your old stompbox
and we'll run it through your Vox and your Firebird
Cos you're tired, you're tired, you're tired, you're tired
You're tired of feeling sad
Your disappointed, hurt and mad
And all the poetry you've written is bad
Because a pen, a pen, a pen, a pen
A pen don't mean you can write
You're no fucking John Updike
Even if you spell it right
Just like a hardon, a hardon, a hardon, a hardon, a hardon
A hardon don't mean you're in love
Cos when the pushing comes to shove
Do you really want to be here?
