All For Me Grog --- Trad.

 

  Chorus:  Well it’s [A]all for me grog, me [D]jolly, jolly grog

              It’s [A]all for me beer and to-[E7]bacco.

               Well I [A]sure regret the day that I [D]took my Uncle’s pay.

               Far a-[A]cross the Western [D]ocean I have [E7]wan-[A]dered.

 

[A]Where are me boots, me [D]friggin’ jungle boots?

They’re [A]all gone for beer and to-[E7]bacco.

The [A]size is much too small and they [D]just don’t work at all

And my [A]socks are lookin’ [D]out for better [E7]wea-[A]ther.

 

          Chorus

 

[A]Where is me shirt, me [D]friggin’ GI shirt?

It’s [A]all gone for beer and to-[E7]bacco.

The [A]collar is all worn, and the [D]sleeves they are all torn

And the [A]tail is lookin’ [D]out for better [E7]wea-[A]ther.

 

          Chorus

 

[A]Where is me hat, me [D]friggin’ boonie hat?

It’s [A]all gone for beer and to-[E7]bacco.

The [A]brim is floppin’ down, and there’s [D]holes all in the crown

And the [A]band is lookin’ [D]out for better [E7]wea-[A]ther.

 

          Chorus

 

[A]Where is me 16, me [D]friggin’ M-16?

It’s [A]all gone for beer and to-[E7]bacco.

The [A]bolt has locked-up tight and there’s [D]not a tool in sight

And the [A]gas tube’s lookin’ [D]out for better [E7]wea-[A]ther.

 

          Chorus

 

I’m [A]sick in the head and I [D]haven’t been to bed

Since [A]I arrived “In Country” last Oc-[E7]tober.

I’ve seen [A]centipedes and snakes, and I’m [D]full of pains and aches

And [A]Victor Charlie’s [D]lookin’ o’er my [E7]shoul-[A]der.

 

  Final Chorus: Well it’s [A]all for me grog, me [D]jolly, jolly grog

                      It’s [A]all for me beer and to-[E7]bacco.

                      For I [A]spent all me dough down at [D]Thirty-Five Tu Do

                      And it’s[A]back to Charlie’s [D]jungle I must [E7]wan-[A]der
