Intro:  Em   D   Em   D 

      Em 
Like everybody else, I like a night on the town. 
   C           Em 
I love a bella vino when the sun goes down. 
      D     A                             Em             Bm 
But unfortunately, one thing has led to another (yes it has). 
Em 
I've struggled more than once to put the key in the door, 
G       C          Em          C      A 
Fallen flat on my face on the disco floor, 
       D       A             D                 Em 
But if I die, I'm gonna die laughing. (Now listen) 
Em 
I've sung and I've danced in the streets of Paree, 
G   C 
Discovered my trousers up an old oak tree, 
      D           A 
I've walked half naked through the hotel continental. (But you know what) 
Em         A          Em 
I'm glad I did what I did when I did it, 
A                       Em 
Make no mistake about that. 
         A                                          Bm 
And i'm glad I said what I said when I said it, Oh yeah. 
            C                 G 
It was the drink that made me do it. 
   D                Em 
I know sometimes I blew it. 
            C                 G 
It was the drink that made me do it. 
       Bm 
Every time, Every time. 

Instrumental break:  Em   Bm   Em   Bm 

                      Em 
I've skipped a light fandango, and I've lost my socks. 
C 
Even spent the night in a telephone box. 
      D                                     Em 
I'm a sucker when I hear "one more for the road." 
G    Em                                 D 
I've woken up with women that I hardly knew, 
C                     Em 
Wine is the cause of silly tattoos. 
D                                             Em 
I've raised hell, where hell didn't need no raising. 
         A                 Em 
But I'm glad I did what I did when I did it, 
A                      Em 
Make no mistake about that. 
         A                           Bm 
And I'm glad I said what I said, Oh yeah. 
            C                  G 
It was the drink that made me do it. 
     D               Em 
Sometimes I guess I blew it. 
            C                 G 
It was the drink that made me do it. 
       Bm 
Every time. 

Oh yeah 

Break:  Em   A   Em   Bm   Em 

Ahh yeah 

G       Em 
So, the moral of the story. Stick to tea and cakes. 
       C                                                  A 
If ya take to the drinking you're gonna make mistakes 
D                             A                                Em 
I wouldn't change a thing, if I could do it again. (No I wouldn't) 
            C                  G 
It was the drink that make me do it. 
     D              Em 
Sometimes I knew I blew it. 
            C 
It was the drink that made me do it. 
        Bm         D      Em 
Every time. Every time. 
    D 
Oh yeah 
          Em 
Blame the drink
