A Liquor Never Brewed

• Gm

Gm 
There was a knockin' at my door 
Cm                  Gm 
It's the dreaded landlord 
    Cm                 Gm       Dm                 Gm 
He wants his rent and wants it now, he is careless how 
    Eb                  Bb     Cm    Dm Cm 
He left us in a vacant daze, asking how we got here. 
 Gm                 Dm               Am                 Gm 
And we retired to slumber but, the glasses never were rinsed. 

 Gm 
There was a tappin' on my back 
 Cm                Gm 
It's the dreaded foreman 
   Cm                    Gm         Dm            Gm 
I think I see a smile through his teeth and his cigar 
   Eb               Bb   Cm Dm Cm    
He put my hands to work otherwise do nothin' 
 Gm             Dm             Am                       Gm          
And I made a thousand things today, I'm sure I'll never use. 

 Gm 
There was a ringin' on my phone 
    Cm              Gm          Dm                  Gm 
I picked it up to answer, they said they were my comrade. 
     Eb                   Bb 
But they couldn't say my name 
      Eb                   Bb 
So I asked them about the sun and moon 
                  Cm    Dm   Cm 
And what their thoughts on time were 
      Gm             Dm             Am               Gm 
They hung it up in madness and went on to punch the clock 
  
Cm                                         Gm 
And somewhere there's a sound of someone singing 
   Dm                         Gm 
I got an invitation once to liberty 
              Eb                     Gm 
They had a mischief brew but, not goblets were used 
   Am                          Am           Bb   Am 
Besting rum or porter 'tis a liquor never brewed. 

Never brewed... 
Gm Gm Cm Gm Cm Gm Dm Gm 
Na na na... 

 Gm 
There was a knockin' at my door 
      Cm             Gm 
It's the dreaded policemen 
          Dm                        Gm 
He had a ticket to enter signed by fools of Sanford laws 
           Eb              Bb          Cm   Dm     Cm 
And he questioned me on politics and scored my generation 
    Gm               Dm        Am        Gm 
For not respecting elders and lands authority 

Gm 
When the landlord came to knock, 
Cm                   Gm 
I said "Come back tomorrow 
  Cm                        Gm                Bb 
There's more life I'll be living than just slaving for your wage 
    Eb                  Bb 
And to the troop and foreman. 
        Eb          Bb      Am 
Make yourself the things I don't use. 
         Gm            Dm           Am            Gm 
For I'm off into the forest for a liquor never brewed!" 

Cm                                         Gm 
And somewhere there's a sound of someone singing 
   Dm                         Gm 
I got an invitation once to liberty 
              Eb                     Gm 
They had a mischief brew but, not goblets were used 
   Am                          Am           Bb   Am 
Besting rum or porter 'tis a liquor never brewed.
