[Verse 1]
Am
Well, I call this room to order
G F
Gather round now and hear my song
Am
If you're drunk or at its border
G F
Listen well, this won't take long
Am
There's no doubting fortune's favour
G F
When it tells you you're the one
Am
But may the real fruits of your labour
G F
Be sown by you alone
[Chorus 1]
C
Oh, good life of singing
F
Good life of song
Am F
Won't you grant us our full measure
When our day is done
C
Oh, good wine and winning
F
Good nights so long
Am F
Won't you ease us through our toiling
The road is very long
Am G F
[Verse 2]
Am
After long weeks in the corner
G F
Where the wine won't make you drunk
Am
But you held your place with honour
G F
Among the bards and the troubadours
Am
This is no roaming lamentation
G F
No ode to those who've gone
Am
But a joyful incantation
G F
To the road we've come upon
[Chorus 2]
C
Oh, good life of singing
F
Good life of song
Am F
Won't you ease us through our toiling
The road is very long
C
Oh, good wine and winning
F
Good nights so long
Am F
Won't you grant us our full measure
For now we must go on
Am
Must go on
[Post Chorus 1]

[Verse 3]
Am
Go tell it on the mountain
G F
Let them know we passed this way
Am
Let them see we came as equals
G F
Let them know we weren't afraid
Am
And they'll feel your love of music
G F
In every note you play
Am
Well, it leaves you if you don't use it
G F
Don't let it slip away
[Chorus 3]
C
Oh, good life of singing
F
Good life of song
Am F
How you granted us our measure
When our work was done
C
Oh, good days of drinking
F
Good nights so long
Am F
How you eased us through our toiling
For now we must go on
Am
Must go on
