When the Hangover Strikes Lyrics

Beautiful jazzy ballad. This was not easy to pin down!
Riff 1 Riff 2
B ---------------- | B ----3>5--------- |
D 7---9---10--12-- | D ----3>5--------- |
When the hangover strikes and I open my post
And the coffee is on
And I'm burning my toast I let the battle commence
I see a sun in the trees and a draught at the door
With my head in my lap there's a day
Riff 1 Ab7 G7 C7 F7 C7 G7
To ex-plore but I'm left without sense
As the hangover strikes and I turn on the tap
But the water's too loud
And I'm caged by the fact that the battle's not lost
Is it the hair of the dog or the baa of the lamb
In a sheepish attempt to be half
Riff 1 Ab7 G7 C7 F7 C7 G7
Of the man that I might be or was
Riff 2
Poor poor poor poor shaken one
Pour pour pour pour me a-nother one another one
When the hangover strikes and the mirror reveals
That it's midnight or bust
And a drink does appeal now the battle is won
So the cure of the can pours it's heart out to me
Though I'm feeling locked up and I can't
Riff 1 Ab7 G7 C7 F7 C7
Find the key well no damage was done
Riff 2
Poor poor poor poor shaken one
Pour pour pour pour me a-nother one another one
