The Pogues - Boat Train: chords

F
I met with Napper Tandy
And I shook him by the hand
          A#               F
He said "Hold me up for Chrissake
    C  		   F
For I can hardly stand"
    A#		      F
The most disgraceful journey
         C          F
On which I've ever been
    A#                 F
The last time that I travelled on
     C
The Boat Train

I had a couple of drinks in town,
a few more in the port
Puked up on the gangway but
some kind folks helped me board
Sat me at a table,
poured whiskey down my throat
Sat me at a table and
I lost my watch and coat

Chorus:
A#		      F
First we drank some whiskey
A#                  F
Then we drank some gin
A#	         F
Then we drank tequila
         Dm      	   C
I think that's what did me in
 A# 		     F
Then we drank some brandy
         A#          F
And the women had a dance
     A#             F
The steward then announced
               Dm                 C
That we could play the game of "chance"

We crowded 'round the table
with our money in our hands
I landed on the other side
without a penny in my pants
Woke up in the toilet when
we got to Holyhead
The doors were all a-banging
and I wished that I was dead

Chorus:
Then we went through customs,
a couple of credited thugs
First they looked for bombs and guns,
then they looked for drugs
Stuck a flashlight up my ass,
told some Irish jokes
Said, "Fuck off now, Paddy" so
I headed for the smoke
On the boat train

We got on board the train and
then we had a drink or two
Started playing poker but
the booze ran out at crew
Some people started sleeping,
others looked for duty free
Some bastard started singing
"Little Cottage by the Lee"

Chorus:
He then sang "Paper Roses,"
"Boolavogue," "Eileen Aru"
Somebody started slagging off the Pakis and the Jews
Found a bottle of whiskey, found a bottle of gin
I sat down in the corner and I read the daily news

First I drank the whiskey, then I drank the gin
Tried to make the toilet but I broke my fucking shin
Next thing that I knew, I was in London in the rain
Staggering up the platform on the boat train
