Intro
=====
Ab G
Verse 1
=======
C7 F7
When the hangover strikes and I open my post
C7
And the coffee is on
F7 Fm
And I'm burning my toast I let the battle commence
C Dm
I see a sun in the trees and a draught at the door
Em Bb7
With my head in my lap there's a day
Riff 1 Ab7 G7 C7 F7 C7 G7
To ex-plore but I'm left without sense
Verse 2
=======
C7 F7
As the hangover strikes and I turn on the tap
C7
But the water's too loud
F7 Fm B7
And I'm caged by the fact that the battle's not lost
C Dm
Is it the hair of the dog or the baa of the lamb
Em Bb7
In a sheepish attempt to be half
Riff 1 Ab7 G7 C7 F7 C7 G7
Of the man that I might be or was
Riff 2
Refrain 1
=========
F Bb7 B7 C Dm Em F#m
Poor poor poor poor shaken one
Fm Bb7 Ebmaj7 Dm G7
Pour pour pour pour me a-nother one another one
Verse 3
=======
C7 F7
When the hangover strikes and the mirror reveals
C7
That it's midnight or bust
F7 Fm B7
And a drink does appeal now the battle is won
C Dm
So the cure of the can pours it's heart out to me
Em Bb7
Though I'm feeling locked up and I can't
Riff 1 Ab7 G7 C7 F7 C7
Find the key well no damage was done
Riff 2
Refrain 2
=========
F Bb7 B7 C Dm Em F#m
Poor poor poor poor shaken one
Fm Bb7 Ebmaj7 Dm G7
Pour pour pour pour me a-nother one another one
