Cigarettes And Beer

	  		ERSKINEVILLE 
The Gadflys 
 
This is off "Many Happy Returns", and this is the crappy piano chords version.  
Corrections requested, 'cause I don't think I got it quite right. Works, though. 
 
This was sung by Andy Lewis, the late bassist for both The Gadflys and The Whitlams.

   A little later 
Gm      F                Bb    
  In the morning when we rise 
                 Dm/A 
  We'll read the paper 
Gm             F                Bb 
  And wipe the sleep out of our eyes 
 
We could go walking 
Or maybe not you can decide 
Out in the sunlight 
Beneath the cool autumn sky 
 
The leaves are falling 
As we go walking past the school 
You don't see it often 
'Cause you'd be driving as a rule 
 
But it's so pretty 
This afternoon down in the lane 
It's such a pity 
To think we won't see it again. 
 
Gb                  Bb 
  It's just another story 
Gb                          Bb 
  Played out along familiar lines 
A                                    Dm 
  I know that things just don't work out sometimes 
G                         F     C 
  And life can often be unkind 
 
When we get hungry 
We could stop in for a meal 
We'll drink some wine 
And later on some beer 
 
And in the evening 
As we go walking down our street 
Stop in at our house 
Take the load off our feet 
 
It's just another story 
Played out along familiar lines 
I know that things just don't work out sometimes 
And life can often be unkind
