In the office | B |

As I stand beside the screen | F |
Hesitating | G |

Barney's Bar is mighty bright | I |
Looks so cheery | J |
Wonder what I'll drink tonight | I |
Gee I'm weary | J |

Sooth my throttle sleek as silk | G |
Ease my coughin' | F |
Say I love them two to death | L |
Sure they miss me | J |
With no whisky on my breath | L |
How they'll kiss me | J |
