[Verse 1]
D G Em G
Across the Burnside Bridge before anyone shot their movies there
D G A
We hid from the whipping rain when we had run out of cocaine
D G Em G
Dispatch down to Plaid Pantry, two on point and two on sentry
D G A
Ah, the joys that the lesser days bring make you throw back your heads and sing
[Chorus]
G A D G A
God bless all petty thieves with tins of oysters up their sleeves
D G D A D A D
Feast when you can and dream when there's nothing to feast on
[Verse 2]
D G Em G
Across a different bridge today, over the river and down Broadway
D G A
Feels so good to have you here, some of you will be dead next year
D G Em G
I see your destinies above you, like angels who don't love you
D G A
Let them kiss you and hold you tight...as long as the money's right
[Chorus]
G A D G A
God bless all my old friends, and God bless me, too - why pretend?
D G D A D A D
Feast when you can and dream when there's nothing to feast on
[Bridge]
F#m D G D
God bless the guys from my old neighborhood
F#m D G A A5 A
Gone past the point where any blessings can do them any good
[Verse 3]
D G Em G
Attach the C4 where you must, disappear in a cloud of dust
D G A
But spare a thought for what it covers up, pour a triple and raise your cup
D G Em G
We were here once, me and my friends, but we destroyed all of the evidence
D G A
And vanished into the night, at least we got that one right
[Outro]
G A D G
God bless us, all of us, we who learn to shun the light
A
God bless all vampires every night
D G
Feast when you can
D G
Feast when you can
