They try in vain our minds to chain
   They try in vain our minds to chain
   I'm up in the stars
   I'm looking down at the gutter
   When I'm good, I'm very good
   But when I'm bad, I'm better
   Oh barman fill this glass again
   And keep on pouring 'til Death says 'when'
   Oh barman, fill it to the top
   And we'll be drinking 'til the singing has to stop
   They try in vain our minds to chain
   They try in vain our minds to chain
   A B C D E F G
   The only notes that matter
   When I'm good, I'm very good
   But when I'm bad, I'm better
   Oh barman, fill this glass again
   And keep on pouring 'til Death says 'when'
   Oh barman fill it to the top
   And we'll be drinking 'til the singing has to stop
   They try in vain our minds to chain
   (Repeats)
   Me and all my friends are coming 'round to your house
   And we're not going to go until we get thrown out
   (Repeats)
   Oh barman, fill this glass again
   (Repeats)
   They try in vain our minds to chain
   (Repeats)
   To chain (Repeats)
