After seeing the other tab here was slightly off I felt compelled to submit my
own. This is how i play the song and I'm fairly confident it's right. There might
be an instrumental section I missed but who really cares?
Enjoy, Olly.

Oh kiss me Maggie & take me home,
For I sure dinnae feel like dyin? alone,
Gawn geez a shot, chuck a doggie a bone,
Or a penny for me rattlin? can,
D(let ring)
As sure as Christ it?s a bitter pill,
But if you won?t have me, yer sister will,
DDDDDD
I?ll cart me arse doon Surry Hills & call her out this evenin?,
