I wasn't 100 percent sure on the lyrics when working out the chords, so I checked out a
lyirc sites but they all contained lines that just don't sound right to me when I hear
song. But having listened to it more carefully, I've come up with what I think are
lyrics below - at least closer than any of the lyric sites I consulted.
Anyway, the chords are easy and it's a fun song to play and sing along to. Enjoy

Intro:
Verse 1:
It must be hard ringing the bells
Of doors that don't swing wide anymore
It must be hard hearing the sound
Of voices just inside of the door
Chorus 1:
A man who couldn't hold your coat
Who's hung on every anicdote
So it must be hard watching the fellows gloat
Ballantines
Verse 2:
It must be hard seeing the same old crowd
Just pass you by in the street
It must be tough knowing your stuff
Could only horrify the elite
Chorus 2:
You cut off everyone you know
Boy you tell `em all where to go
Now it must be hard getting the same heave-ho
Ballantines
Bridge:
Well, patrons at the bar in Lexington Kentucky
Who sprung for every drink you downed
With things the way they are it's not that kind of party
If what you've got might just be good
Solo: (Do do do...)
(x3)
Chorus 3:
And fuck-ups won't be getting thin
Seeing the kind of jam you're in
Though the angels dance on the head of another pin
Ballantines
Ballantines
Ballant-i-i-ines
End with:
