Tom: Am
Am G Fmaj7
[Verse 1: Kyle Falconer]
C
The pipe takes me to heaven
Em
The pint puts me in jail
F C
So I'll stick with the Vimto, it's safer in my head
Print my progress often
Em
And keep the wolves at bay
F Am
I've been down in a ripple for darker days
[Chorus]
Dm Em Am
The wiser words are never more than free
F G
So let the snow prints melt, and keep the sun with me
C
'Cause I'm working on me, and the family
I'm growing up, ye' see
F
I'm putting bottles of whisky and vodka behind me
C
I'm working on the family tree
[Verse 2]
C
I'll stay right with the program
Em
And pull my weight indeed
F C
I'm pulling weeds in autumn, should keep the birds in feed
Em
I'll write my jolly jingles, and document my time
F Am
Mixing up the tinkle pills, and children's rhymes
Dm Em Am
The wiser words are never far from me (far from me)
F G
And let the shadows dance, and filled of course with glee
[Chorus]
Am C
'Cause I'm working on me, and the family
I'm growing up, ye' see
F
I'm putting bottles of whisky and vodka behind me
C
I'm working on the family tree
'Cause I'm working on me, and the family
I'm growing up, ye' see
F
I'm putting bottles of whisky and vodka behind me
Am
You'll never get no bother from me
F G C
'Cause I'm working on the family tree
[Refrain]
Am
She said she won't marry me
G F
It saddens me, oh no
Am
She said she won't marry me
G F
It saddens me, oh no
Am
She said she won't marry me
G F
It saddens me, oh no
[Chorus]
So I'm working on me, and the family
I'm growing up, ye' see?
I'm putting bottles of whisky and vodka behind me
I'm working on the family tree
C
'Cause I'm working on me, and the family
I'm growing up, ye' see
F
I'm putting bottles of whisky and vodka behind me
C
I'm working on the family tree
'Cause I'm working on me, and the family
I'm growing up, ye' see?
G Am
I'm putting bottles of whisky and vodka behind me
F Am
You'll never get the better of me
F Am
I'm working on the family tree
G F Fmaj7 F Am G Fmaj7 F
[Outro]
Am G
Do you really wanna go home?
F
Do you really wanna stay here?
Am G
Do you wanna keep your head up?
Fmaj7
Should you be the one who lives in fear?
