Boxing Night (acoustic) Ukulele tab

	  

Intro: G5 

Verse 1:
  
G5 
It's boxing night,  
            B5 
(And) I'll celebrate in style 
   G5 
In boxer shorts and spirits, floor littered 
     A5 
With ghosts of bottles past 
          G5 
There's a naked hush  
  B5 
Clawed only in breath and of pulse 
       G5 
Of our heart that is kicking 
                A5                   G5 
As though it is desperate to be born  


Interlude: G5 


Verse 2: 
G5 
And I'm in hostage blind 
B5 
Deaf to the dim outside 
     G5             
Good Glasgow could burn to it's timber* tonight 
        A5 
And I'd barely blink and I... 
         G5 
Well the clock just stopped 
            B5 
You can cut that on my fucking headstone* 
      G5 
Won't something move so I stop 
          A5 
Staring a hole into the phone 
                 


                 C5 
You can get me at home 
                 D5 
With a drink to ill health 
                 C5 
Just me and these walls 
               D5 
And a beaten up chair 
          G5 
On boxing day  



Interlude: G5  B5  G5  A5 


Verse 3:
 
        G5 
This is boxing night 
    B5 
And someone lost an eye 
       G5 
Well I swear I've lost the last drop 
            A5 
Of whatever kept me awake alive 
       G5 
And I fell in the forth  
                    
From a heavy right hook  
       B5 
To our blushed and swollen face 
    G5 
And in a single blow it's murdered 
                 A5 
And then it takes years to waste away  
     G5 
And I can't call you all mine anymore 
         B5 
And I can't call you full stop  
     G5 
But you know you can call me up anytime 
            A5 
Call me whatever the fuck you want 



                 C5 
You can get me at home 
                    D5 
With a drink to ill health  
                  C5 
Just me and these walls 
               D5 
And a beaten up chair 
                  C5 
You can get me at home 
                  D5      
With a drink to ill health 
                 C5 
Just me and these walls 
              D5 
And my beaten up chair 
        G5 
On boxing day
