Kill to Get Crimson Version

Intro: C C F C C G C


      C                       F    C
The school Christmas party is com-ing
    C                    F
We ain't doing rugby no more
 F          G           C    F
McIntyre’s teaching us waltz-ing
C          F         C        F
Out on the gymnasium floor
C           F    C
Out on the gymnasium floor
C                     F  C
McIntyre's out of the ar-my
                             F 
You’ll be slipper’d if you get it wrong
F          G         C           F
McIntyre's din looms loud in the gym
           C          F            C     F
And we've only got a little short song
       C           F     C
We've only got a little short song


  
         F                            C
And it's one two three two two we're all a disgrace
                   F
McIntyre tore us apart
                                      C              F  (pick the F)
And we dance with ourselves when we’d all found a space
    C          F            C      F
Waltzing with fear in our hearts
    C           F         C
Waltzing with fear in our hearts

Comes the day of the final maneuvers
All of our heads are a-whirl
It’s getting much closer to D-Day
This time we're gonna do it with girls
This time we're gonna do it with girls

In the arena the ladies were waiting
A twelve year old partner to guide
Some matches were fixed
The rest of us mixed
And a fat girl got left at the side
The fat girl got left at the side

         F                            C
And it's one two three two two we're all a disgrace
                   F
McIntyre tore us apart
                                      C              F  (pick the F)
And we dance with ourselves when we’d all found a space
    C          F            C      F
Waltzing with fear in our hearts
    C           F         C
Waltzing with fear in our hearts



          F                         C                      
When you come to my fights and I’m under the lights
                                F
And you see that my footwork is false
                                        F   (pick the F)
Don't count me out at the start of the bout
          C         F        C     F
I'm just doing the secondary waltz
C          F        C
Doing the secondary waltz
