Oliver Reed Chords

[Verse 1]
          G           C
Fare thee well my old friend,
           G                                                        D
If I could toast to every smile you brought, the drinks would never end.
              G                 C
But still the wake, it falls to me,
             G                                                   D
And though I don't know where to turn to, even blinded men could see,
 
 
[Chorus]
      Em                              C
It'll take more than a pint or two to celebrate your life.
            G                D
I'll need a bender so legendary
     Em                                C
That mortal men will shudder when they think of the night
       G             D      G
I went drinking like Oliver Reed.
 
 
[Verse 2]
             G                 C
I'll raise a pint. No, make it eight.
              G                                                  D
Twelve double rums and then some whiskey--half a bottle, take it straight.
            G             C
And it will be fitting tribute
       G                                                 D
To the last round of the only thirst endowed to drink to you.
 
 
[Chorus]
      Em                              C
It'll take more than a pint or two to celebrate your life.
            G                D
I'll need a bender so legendary
     Em                                C
That mortal men will shudder when they think of the night
       G             D      G
I went drinking like Oliver Reed.
 
 
[Bridge]
       Em                       C
Oliver Reed was a legend with a liver made of fire
      G                         D
And a thirst that was more of a need.
        Em                                C
And his affair with the bottle danced him to his funeral pyre,
            G             D      G
But I'll go drinking like Oliver Reed.
 
 
[Chorus]
      Em                              C
It'll take more than a pint or two to celebrate your life.
            G                D
I'll need a bender so legendary
     Em                                C
That mortal men will shudder when they think of the night
       G             D      G
I went drinking like Oliver Reed.
