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

Verse 1
RE SOL RE LA
Wednesday night is mornin' now as I'm walking in the rain
RE SOL SOL LA RE
Birds are screaming in my ear, they're driving me insane
RE SOL RE LA
Half the clouds are empty so the sun bursts through the sky
RE SOL SOL LA RE
The puddles show reflections of a face about to die
RE SOL RE LA
Just around the corner I was going round the bend
RE SOL SOL LA RE
I ran into a staggerin' fool who said he knew my name
RE SOL RE LA
He poured himself a whiskey and his face began to glow
RE SOL SOL LA RE
Two men without an answer like a dog without a bone
Pre-chorus 1:
SIm
Bringin in the new year as the bells began to ring
LA
Fats is in the corner, she's just about to sing
SIm
Time to get another before the final shout
FA#/FA#
You should have heard him roarin when they dragged the bugger out
Chorus
SOL LA RE SOL RE LA RE SOL SOL LA RE
And we'll never see the likes of you again
Verse 2:
RE SOL RE LA
Jimbo came from slummin' town, a cold and dreary place
RE SOL SOL LA RE
To summerland he found himself, the sun shone on his face
RE SOL RE LA
Met a girl called Minnie Pearl, swore she'd always be his girl
RE SOL SOL LA RE
Happily ever after till the tide ran out again
RE SOL RE LA
Pour me all your sorrows and I'll drink till you are dry
RE SOL SOL LA RE
I'll love you in the mornin, Christ I'll love ya till you die
RE SOL RE LA
I'll never leave so never grieve, I'll be back before you know
RE SOL SOL LA RE
But Jimbo fell into a well and never rambled home
Pre-chorus 2:
SIm
Carried all his troubles in an unforgivin bag
LA
Back and forth through painted brick the colours all seemed bland
SIm
I've traveled all these years, he said to only get this far
FA#/FA#
So he crossed the street, found a seat, his home is now a bar
Chorus
SOL LA RE SOL RE LA
And we'll never see the likes of you again
SOL LA RE SOL RE LA RE SOL SOL LA RE
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
SIm RE
So he disappeared into his final beer
SOL LA
But the glass was empty once again, again, again...
Break (guitar and fiddle)
RE SOL RE LA RE SOL SOL LA RE (2x)
Verse 3:
RE SOL RE LA
Woke up in an awful state, dreamt I was at Peter's gate
RE SOL SOL LA RE
Beggin for his mercy and the crimes that were at hand
RE SOL RE LA
Told me he was much amused to see the life I had abused
RE SOL SOL LA RE
Best be on the way, but have a swig before you go
Pre-chorus 1

SOL LA RE SOL RE LA
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!
