“Another Country”
Roj Vincent
Intro: Em D Em D Em
Like everybody else, I like a night on the town.
C Em
I love a bella vino when the sun goes down.
D A Em Bm
But unfortunately, one thing has led to another (yes it has).
Em
I've struggled more than once to put the key in the door,
G C Em C A
Fallen flat on my face on the disco floor,
D A D Em
But if I die, I'm gonna die laughing. (Now listen)
Em
I've sung and I've danced in the streets of Paree,
G C
Discovered my trousers up an old oak tree,
D A
I've walked half naked through the hotel continental. (But you know what)
Em A Em
I'm glad I did what I did when I did it,
A Em
Make no mistake about that.
A Bm
And i'm glad I said what I said when I said it, Oh yeah.
C G
It was the drink that made me do it.
D Em
I know sometimes I blew it.
C G
It was the drink that made me do it.
Bm
Every time, Every time.
Instrumental break: Em Bm Em Bm Em
I've skipped a light fandango, and I've lost my socks.
C
Even spent the night in a telephone box.
D Em
I'm a sucker when I hear "one more for the road."
G Em D
I've woken up with women that I hardly knew,
C Em
Wine is the cause of silly tattoos.
D Em
I've raised hell, where hell didn't need no raising.
A Em
But I'm glad I did what I did when I did it,
A Em
Make no mistake about that.
A Bm
And I'm glad I said what I said, Oh yeah.
C G
It was the drink that made me do it.
D Em
Sometimes I guess I blew it.
C G
It was the drink that made me do it.
Bm
Every time.
Oh yeah
Break: Em A Em Bm Em
Ahh yeah
G Em
So, the moral of the story. Stick to tea and cakes.
C A
If ya take to the drinking you're gonna make mistakes
D A Em
I wouldn't change a thing, if I could do it again. (No I wouldn't)
C G
It was the drink that make me do it.
D Em
Sometimes I knew I blew it.

It was the drink that made me do it.

Way Back Home chords – Rod Stewart
Way Back Home – Rod Stewart
“ Another Country”
Intro chords: Bm Em C G Em G D G C G D
I was just a little boy without care
Em G Em Am D
I remember looking up and seeing you there
C Bm Am
I never wandered too far from your sight
G C Am D
'Cause all the love I needed was there in your eyes
G D
We grew up in a war zone city with a cast iron wind
Em Am D
Broken lives, darken streets, and twisted steel
C G D Am
But around our house the sky seems so blue
Em C D
And on a wing and prayer we just muddled through
Bm C G D Em
And we always kept the laughter and the smile upon our face
C G D Am
In that good-old-fashion British way with pride and faultless grace
G C G D Em
I shall never forget those childhood days for as long as I shall live
Am G D G
And I'll always find my way back, always find my way back home
G
Tell me why in wars that made our family strong
Em G
As our defiant little island weathered the storm
C G Am
There never seemed enough on my plate
Em C Am D
You said be grateful, say grace, don't complain
C G D Em
How can I ever thank you for the lessons that I've learnt
C G D Am
And the precious warmth and comfort that I've felt at every turn
Bm C G D Em
And for those that sacrificed their lives for freedom and for peace
Am G D G
I will always find my way back, always find my way back home
Em D C G
I'll give you stories, of raging, burning skies
D C G
And our nation with its back against the wall
Em D C G
Like a wide-eyed school boy I hang on every word
Am D
Stories I was too young to recall
C G D Em
And we always kept the laughter and the smile upon our face
C G D Am
In that good-old-fashion British way with pride and faultless grace
G C G D Em
I shall never forget those childhood days for as long as I shall live
Am G D
And I'll always find my way back, always find my way
C G D Em
And we always kept the laughter and the smile upon our face
C G D Am
In that good-old-fashion British way with pride and faultless grace
Bm C G D Em
I shall never forget those childhood days for as long as I shall live
