There's a funny kind of slide thing which I can't figure out
(I think you need a bottleneck) so here are the chords.
INTRO
C
VERSE I
C
Don't fall out of temptation, if drinking for the nation
Is getting you down
F
Cos it takes a lot of work, filling up your belly
C
And eating dirt
F
It takes a lot of cash and lot of lies
C
Just to get this trashed
CHORUS
F Bb C
But it's easier than paying
F Bb C
Your tax straight to the man
F Bb C
It's easier than paying
F Bb C
Your tax straight to the man
VERSE II
Don't fall out of temptation, if drinking for the nation
Is dragging you down
Your country needs you dont deny it, drink all you can
Just dont get high
And if you dont feel it start to hurt, just buy another
And say "Lets get worse"
CHORUS
F Bb C
F Bb C
F Bb C
F Bb C
C ...
VERSE III
Don't fall out of temptation, if drinking for the nation
Is getting you down
Cos everything you have to spend, goes to defend
The ones you love
No its not money down the drain you're playing the game
It's hand in glove
CHORUS
C ...
F Bb C
F Bb C
F Bb C
F Bb C
F Bb C
Well don't ever think that drinking gets you down
F Bb C
Well don't ever think that drinking gets you down
F Bb C
Well don't ever think that drinking gets you down
F Bb C
No, don't ever think that drinking gets you down
F Bb C
Oh, don't ever think that drinking gets you down
F Bb C
No, don't ever think that drinking gets you down ... to fade
