Info
The whole song can be played with power chords, which fits the style.
G* = single strum
In the first part of the Outro there is no guitar, I added the chords that would be played in brackets.
Intro
N.C. (drums)
G* G* G* G* G* G*
Verse
Have you ever stopped to think about what rats do for fun?
Sure they crawl around and scurry, yeah they're always on the run
But a rat sure likes a good time, just like you and me
F C G C*
I'll prove it with a tale about a rat-infested brewery
G* G* G* G* G* G*
Verse
It started with a little lad named Vermin McCann
Who fell upon a drink, that made him feel like quite a man
He rounded up his furry boys, though some wore a frown
F C G C*
They quickly changed their tune and they slammed a couple down!
Chorus
G* G* G* G* G* G*
One, two, - one, two, three, four!
Come on all you good rats, we'll send you to heaven,
You'll find the pearly gates in the froth and the foam
'Cause in these vats you've made quite a creation
A potion that turned the Guinness to gold!
G* G* G* G* G* G*
Verse
Like mice behind a piper, rats from all around
Soon headed for this factory in old Dublin town
They surely heard the news, about this fancy new rat-brew
F C G C*
They came, they saw, they had a taste and knocked back a few
Chorus
G* G* G* G* G* G*
One, two, - one, two, three, four!
Come on all you good rats, we'll send you to heaven,
You'll find the pearly gates in the froth and the foam
'Cause in these vats you've made quite a creation
A potion that turned the Guinness to gold!
G* G* G* G* G* G*
Verse
The rats were in a tizzy, addicted to the bone
The hairy lugs were giddy, they were never going home
Like a bunch of drunken pirates, prepared to walk the plank
F C G C*
They drank, they sang, they took a plunge and in the beer they sank!
