Barkeep another Mekong please. Yes of course you can keep the change.
Am                          G              C
New glass here for this new friend of mine. Forgive me I forgot your
F     Am                        G           C
name. Flip a coin what shall we talk about? Heads I tell the truth and

And if it is I'd like to stay a while.
Am         G             F                 G             Am
Well as cliche as it may sound I'd like to raise another round.

And if your bottle's empty help yourself to mine.
