Intro
[Ab] [G]
Verse 1
When the [C7]hangover strikes and I [F7]open my post
And the [C7]coffee is on
And I'm [F7]burning my toast I let the [Fm]battle commence
I see a [C]sun in the trees and a [Dm]draught at the door
With my [Em]head in my lap there's a [Bb7]day
Riff 1 Ab7 G7 C7 F7 C7 G7
To ex-plore but I'm left without sense
Verse 2
As the [C7]hangover strikes and I [F7]turn on the tap
But the [C7]water's too loud
And I'm [F7]caged by the fact that the [Fm]battle's not lo[B7]st
Is it the [C]hair of the dog or the [Dm]baa of the lamb
In a [Em]sheepish attempt to be [Bb7]half
Riff 1 Ab7 G7 C7 F7 C7 G7
Of the man that I might be or was
Riff 2
Refrain 1
[F]Poor poor [Bb7]poor [B7]poor[C] shaken one[Dm][Em][F#m]
[Fm]Pour pour [Bb7]pour pour me a-[Ebmaj7]nother one another [Dm]one[G7]
Verse 3
When the [C7]hangover strikes and the [F7]mirror reveals
That it's [C7]midnight or bust
And a [F7]drink does appeal now the [Fm]battle is [B7]won
So the [C]cure of the can pours it's [Dm]heart out to me
Though I'm [Em]feeling locked up and I [Bb7]can't
Riff 1 Ab7 G7 C7 F7 C7
Find the key well no damage was done
