Seven Drunken Nights

Seven Drunken Nights: Chords

            
Name of this song is, 
"The Seven Drunken Nights"
But we're only allow to sing 
five of them so here it goes

     LA
As I went home on Monday night 
                        
as drunk as drunk could be
  RE                   
I saw a horse outside the door 
                         
where my old horse should be
        LA                     
Well, I called me wife and I said to her, 
          RE
"Will you kindly tell to me"
         LA   
"Who owns that horse outside the door 
             RE           LA
where my old horse should be?"

Ah, you're drunk, you're drunk
              
You silly old fellow, still you can not see
                            MI             LA
That's a lovely sow that me mother sent to me

Well, it's many a day 
                                 
I've travelled a hundred miles or more
                             MI          LA
But a saddle on a sow sure I never saw before

       LA              
And as I went home on Tuesday night 

as drunk as drunk could be
  RE    
I saw a coat behind the door 
                        
where my old coat should be
        LA
Well, I called me wife and I said to her, 
          RE
"Will you kindly tell to me"
     LA             
"Who owns that coat behind the door 
         RE              LA
where my old coat should be?"

Ah, you're drunk, you're drunk
                              
You silly old fellow, still you can not see
                                 MI             LA
That's a woollen blanket that me mother sent to me

Well, it's many a day 
               
I've travelled a hundred miles or more
                                MI          LA
But buttons in a blanket sure I never saw before

       LA
And as I went home on Wednesday night 
                       
as drunk as drunk could be
  RE   
I saw a pipe up on the chair 
                         
where my old pipe should be
        LA         
Well, I called me wife and I said to her, 
          RE
"Will you kindly tell to me"
     LA   
"Who owns that pipe up on the chair 
         RE              LA
where my old pipe should be?"

Ah, you're drunk, you're drunk
 
You silly old fellow, still you can not see
                   
That's a lovely tin whistle 
        MI             LA
that me mother sent to me

Well, it's many a day 
                                
I've travelled a hundred miles or more
                     
But tobacco in a tin whistle 
       MI          LA
sure I never saw before

       LA
And as I went home on Thursday night 
          
as drunk as drunk could be
  RE          
I saw two boots beneath the bed 
                       
where my old boots should be
        LA
Well, I called me wife and I said to her,
          RE
"Will you kindly tell to me"
     LA                  
"Who owns them boots beneath the bed 
         RE               LA
where my old boots should be?"

Ah, you're drunk, you're drunk
                              
You silly old fellow, still you can not see
 
They're two lovely Geranium 
        MI             LA
pots me mother sent to me

Well, it's many a day 
                               
I've travelled a hundred miles or more
                             MI          LA
But laces in Geranium pots I never saw before

       LA
And as I went home on Friday night 
                       
as drunk as drunk could be
  RE              
I saw a head upon the bed 
                       
where my old head should be
        LA
Well, I called me wife and I said to her, 
          RE
"Will you kindly tell to me"
     LA
"Who owns that head upon the bed 
         RE              LA
where my old head should be?"

Ah, you're drunk, you're drunk
                     
You silly old fellow, still you can not see
                          MI             LA
That's a baby boy that me mother sent to me

Well, it's many a day 
        
I've travelled a hundred miles or more

But a baby boy with his whiskers 
          MI          LA
on sure I never saw before

LA    MI LA
