Intro
        
       D                D        A           G 
In the year of our lord eighteen hundred and eleven 
   Bm        A 
On March the seventeenth day 
D                 D             A          G 
I will raise up a beer and I'll raise up a cheer 
Bm  A             G           D  
For Saccharomyces cerevisiae 
G                     D           A               G 
Yes here's to brewers yeast, that humblest of all beasts 
G                D            G          A 
Producing carbon gas reducing acetaldehyde 
G                         D               A         Bm   
But my friends that isn't all -- it makes ethyl alcohol 
G                    D                  A              D 
Yes that is what the yeast excretes and that's what we imbibe 

Pre-Chorus 

G         D 
Anaerobic isolation 
A         Bm 
Alcoholic fermentation 
G    D 
NADH oxidation 
A 
Give me a beer

G D A Bm A 
G D A D 

verse 1 

D                  D       A    G 
My intestinal wall absorbs that ethanol 
Bm                                        A 
And soon it passes through my blood-brain barrier 
D                          D                 A          G      
There's a girl in the next seat who I didn't think that sweet 
Bm              A                G     D 
But after a few drinks I want to marry her 
G                D              A           G 
I guess it's not surprising, my dopamine is rising 
Bm                                 A 
And my glutamate receptors are all shot 
G             D                 A     Bm       
I'd surely be bemoaning all the extra serotonin 
G      D                           A             D 
But my judgment is impaired and my confidence is not 

Pre-Chorus 

G          D 
Allosteric modulation 
D            Bm 
No Long Term Potentiation 
G          D 
Hastens my inebriation 
A 
Give me a beer

verse 2 

D                  D        A              G 
When ethanol is in me, some shows up in my kidneys 
Bm                          A 
And inhibits vasopressin by degrees 
D             D                  A        G 
A decrease in aquaporins hinders water re-absorption 
Bm              A        G       D 
And pretty soon I really have to pee 
G                       D          A        G 
Well my liver breaks it down so my body can rebound 
Bm                              A 
By my store of glycogen is soon depleted 
G                     D            A       Bm 
And tomorrow when I'm sober I will also be hungover 
G                      D             A                  D 
Cause I flushed electrolytes that my nerves and muscles needed 

Pre-Chorus 

G        D 
Diuretic activation 
A         Bm 
Urination urination 
G         D 
Urination dehydration 
A 
Give me a beer
