standard tuning , live versions currently available sound to be capo i might just be my preference , but play D as 554030 , sounds better than xx0232 or 200232 G 320033 Em 022000 C 332010 D 552030 | : G Em C D : | G it’s boxing night Em i celebrate in style C with boxer shorts and spirits D floor litteed with ghosts of bottles passed G there’s a naked hush Em clothed only with breath and a pulse C of a heart that is kicking D as though it is desperate to be born G and i’m hostage blind Em deaf to the din outside C good glasgow could burn to it’s bones ( timber? ) tonight D and i’d barely blink an eye G Em C D G well the clock just stopped Em put that on my fxxking headstone ( you can cut that into my headstone ) C won’t something move so i stop D staring a hole into the phone C you can get me at home D i’ll be drinking to death C just me and these walls D and a beaten up chair G on boxing day ( G ) this is boxing night Em and someone lost an eye C well i swear i’ve lost the last drop D of whatever kept me awake , alive G we fell in the forth from a heavy right hook Em to a blushed and swollen face C and in a single blow it’s murdered D and now it takes years to waste away G well i can’t call you all night any more Em i can’t call you full stop C though you know you can call me up any time D call me whatever the fxxk you want C you can get me at home D i’ll be drinking to death C just me and these walls D and a beaten up chair C you can get me at home D i’ll be drinking to death C just me and these walls D and my beaten up chair G on boxing day | : ( G ) Em C D : | repeat a few times; end on G
