"Jakey's Gin" (Trad./Arr. GBS) From "Play"(1997) an odd song about a St. John's bootlegger, apparently. with the chorus of the very similar "Whiskey, You're the Devil" tacked on in the coda. Sung by Darrell Power. Capo 5th fret. Intro: G..... G Cadd9 G When I was a young man I was led astray Cadd9 G Cadd9 D G I met with a buddy down in Logy Bay G we went out in all weather, Cadd9 G we wore out our shoes, Cadd9 G D goin' up Kingsbridge road for a drink o' Booze [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/g/great-big-sea/39048.html ] CHORUS: G Cadd9 G Drink her up, boys! it's well after ten G D G Drink her up, boys! it's well after ten G F|G F|G... some people say that the Pinky is fine others will swear by a drop of moonshine but as for myself I've a bottle of each mixed in with a gallon of dipper and screech Chorus It's the old shaving lotion thats made me this way sweeter than Pepsi and stronger then tea and when in the evening when we're feeling fine we stop into Jakey's for icons and 'shine Chorus It's the old shaving lotion that's made me this way sweeter then pepsi an' stronger than tea and when in the morning when I'm feelin' rough I curse old Jakey who sold me this stuff CHORUS x2.... "Take a two-four out the door!" Da-da-da-da-da-da.... Ah,whiskey you're the devil, you're leadin' me astray over hills and mountains and to Americay you're nicer, stronger, decenter, you're spunkier than tea oh, whiskey you're me darlin' drunk or sober fade over verse chords  |
