G
Show me the way to go home
C                                         G
I’m tired an I want to go to bed

I had a little drink about an hour ago
           D
And it went right to my head

G
Where ever I may roam
     C                     G
On land or sea or foam

You will always hear me singing this song
D                                  G
Show me the way to go home

He has been told that for this effort he is a remarkable man.
