INTRO: A– D- A- E7
Come one, come all, we’re shovin’ off soon – hell has a happy hour & it starts at noon
A- D- E7
So don’t you be the last aboard our little vessel of doom – suck in that gut there sonny, there might just be room
A- D-
We’re off to happy hour in hell – “Hey, Captain, ho can you tell?!”
A- E7
– because its raining saints from the sky – they’re abandoning the heavens for sour mash rye…
A-
Heave! Ho! Heave! Ho!
A- D- A-
Grab an oar, and dip it in, ’cause its anchors away!
D- A- E7 A-
Oh, I forgot to tell you – this ship it only sails one way
A-
Heave! Ho! Heave! Ho!
A- D- A-
There’s no turning back now, the galley is filled to the roof
D- A- E7 3/4: || A- | / | G | / ||
The oars, they row in cadence to the pounding of the cloven hoof
CHORUS:
C G D- F
It’s happy hour in hell, so ring that whiskey bell
F E7 . . . A-
the saints are falling from the sky – they’re abandoning the heavens for sour mash rye
A-
Heave! Ho! Heave! Ho!
A- D- A-
Now the heavens are deserted, poor Jesus is all alone
D- A- E7 A-
Pitching cards into a pork pie hat from atop his golden throne
A-
Heave! Ho! Heave! Ho!
A- D- A-
Now we’re filled with the spirits, under a broken moon
D- A- E7 3/4: || A- | / | G | / ||
The Devil he sure can play one hell of a bassoon!
CHORUS:
C G D- F
It’s happy hour in hell, and Jesus, he finally fell
F E7 . . . . . . . A-
Oh Christ! Its about time… you turned that lake of fire into wine!
A-
Heave! Ho! Heave! Ho!
A- vamp
It’s happy hour in hell my friends, yes, we’re finally here, we’ve traversed the Abyss, gone down through the catacombs of Tartarus, bargained with the fiends of the pit, and, now, just past the lake of fire, empty your buckets of blood because we’re going to the wells of vermin – we’re going to dip those buckets formerly of blood into those wells, and come up with enough for everybody – that’s right – buckets of verminous bourbon for bottomless wells! Buckets of verminous bourbon for bottomless wells! Buckets of verminous bourbon for bottomless wells! BUCKETS OF verminous BOURBON from BOTTOMLESS wells! Buckets of VERNIMOUS bourbon FROM bottomless wells! Buckets of verminous bourbon from bottomless wells. BUCKETS OF VERMINOUS BOURBON FROM BOTTOMLES WELLS!
E7 A-
Oh GOD! OH GOD! OH GOD…. how I wish you were here!!!
