G
I'm back on dry land once again

Opportunity awaits me like a rat in the drain

We're all hunting honey with money to burn

Just a short time to show you the tricks that we've learned
[Verse 2]

If the boys all behave themselves here

Well there's pretty young ladies and beer in the rear

You won't need a gutter to sleep in tonight
Cm G/B Am7 D Daug
Oh the prices I charge here will see you alright
[Verse 3]

So she lays down beside me again
