[ Предположительная тональность: G ] [Intro] G C G G C Am Em G C D G C D G [Verse] G C G Tam he woke tae find a shadow by the bed, G C Am Em Blamed it on the vapors still beleaguerin' his head, C G D Scrubbed his chops & dragged an oily bug rake through his hair, G C D G And wiped the mirror tae find the bogey mimickin' his stare, G C G He boilt the jug tae quench his mug & baked a lump o' toast, G C Am Em Hid behind the racin' pages from the hoary ghost, C G D oh "Awfy ghostie if yer here tae make me dead, G C D G Spare me life & bother me wife or Mother-in-law instead!" [Chorus] G C G "Tam McCorty I'm not here to make you cry, G C Am Em I know you're just a broken man wi' longing in his eye, G C D I'll say my say & go my way a-carving through the rye, G C D G C D G Tam McCorty, it's not your day to die." [Verse] G C G "By the way ye've hung yer tools o' trade & mantle I can tell, G C Am Em Ye will nae leave until ye've seen me safely intae hell, C G D So follow me down the 'Horse & Crown' of liquor I'm sae fond, G C D G I'll drink meself tae death & haunt the witches from beyond." [Chorus] G C G "Tam McCorty I'm not here to make you cry, G C Am Em I know you're just a broken man wi' longing in his eye, G C D I'll say my say & go my way a-carving through the rye, G C D G C D G Tam McCorty, it's not your day to die." [Verse] G C G They drank to fallen heroes, they spat & cursed the Queen, G C Am Em They argued o'er 'Black Caviar' - The finest ever seen? C G D They smoked cigars & played at cards for pots o' Gilbeys Gin, G C D G Roarin' as the fiery liqour, it spilled all down their chin. [Chorus] G C G "Tam McCorty I'm not here to make you cry, G C Am Em I know you're just a broken man wi' longing in his eye, G C D I'll say my say & go my way a-carving through the rye, G C D G C D G Tam McCorty, it's not your day to die." [Verse] G C G They staggered home along the tracks & pissed against a post, G C Am Em The dogs a' barkin' madly, all as though they'd seen a ghost, C G D "Oh take me now I beg you, pick yer mark & pick it well, G C D G I'm tired o' livin' & there I think I hear the hounds o' HELL!" [Chorus] G C G "Tam McCorty I'm not here to make you cry, G C Am Em I know you're just a broken man wi' longing in his eye, G C D I'll say my say & go my way a-carving through the rye, G C D G C D G Tam McCorty, it's not your day to die." [Verse] G C G Death threw his cloak across him where he passed out in his chair, G And whispered in a frosty tone directly in his ear, C G D "Best you learn to live again, forgive yerself yer past, G For when you see me next Tam, it'll be your last." [Chorus] G C G "Tam McCorty I'm not here to make you cry, G C Am Em I know you're just a broken man wi' longing in his eye, G C D I'll say my say & go my way a-carving through the rye, G C D G Tam McCorty, it's not your day to die." G C G "Tam McCorty I'm not here to make you cry, G C Am Em I know you're just a broken man wi' longing in his eye, G C D I'll say my say & go my way a-carving through the rye, G C D G Tam McCorty, it's not your day to die." G C D G Tam McCorty, it's not your day to die." G C D G Tam McCorty, it's not your day to die."
