Paul Weller

Theres No Drinking After Your Dead


The other riff which appears at the end
and during some verses is something like:

(0 = 4th fret of guitar)
Intro: C#m (w/riff 1)
C#m (w/riff 1) B
Come taste the wine - come lose yourself
C#m (w/riff 1) B
Taste this time - but keep it well -
Only love it all -
With heart and head
For there is no drinking, af - ter you're dead
C#m (w/riff 1) B
Dive and swim - in the amber ocean
C#m (w/riff 1) B
See all that you can - in this new emotion
And embrace it now -
Before it's skin sheds
For there is no drinking, af - ter you're dead
C#m (w/riff 1) B
Stand back to back - with yourself again
C#m (w/riff 1) B
As you spin and reel - like a new found friend,
And have it all -
With heart and hands
For there is no love ma - king, af - ter you're dead
And today is but a second - if tomorrow you may die
And empty pages glistening - in eternity's lie
And time is but an essence - encased upon the wall
That brings our day of reckoning - Much closer to us all.
C#m (w/riff 1) B
Light the candle - and burn it well
C#m (w/riff 1) B (tacet)
For only time knows - what it cannot yet tell,
Only love it all
with heart and head
For there is no drinking, Af - ter you're dead
C#m (w/riff 1) - repeat riff 1 to fade.
