Verse
G D
Well it's another rainy night, here in my home town
G
And the rain beats down on the stone surround of the prison grounds
D
Well you can raise a smile but lower your eyes when you pass by
G
You'd surely understand if you were the man, doing time
C D B Em
I guess it's fair to say I had more than my share that day
C D G
And you know, I've been told, all prison bars are closed.
[Chorus]
C Bm C G
So won’t you raise your glass get drunk for me
Bm C D
'Cos I'm the fool who drank too much, you see.
C Bm C G C D G
So won't you set them up unselfishly please raise your glass to foolish me.
Bm C D
[Verse 2]
G D
When I left the factory gate I was perfectly straight and sober
G
But I stopped for a short one which led to a long one and murder
D
Well he was six feet five, about twice my size, but I was crazy
G
Because I heard him say, my wife, in the day was no lady.
C D B Em
I guess it's fair to say I had more than my share that day
C D G
And you know, I've been told all prison bars are closed
[Chorus]

So won’t you raise your glass and drink to me
Bm C D
'Cos I'm the fool who left her alone you see.
C Bm C G C D G
So won't you set them up unselfishly please raise your glass to foolish me.
