you're out for the night hoping to hook up with a member off the opposite
sex with a view to having a (often temporary) sexual liaison.

Hmm... Those chords don't do it from me... I played along with my copy of Hamish'
version, and came up with these. For the talking bits, alternate between [Em] and
[A]. Mr. Imlach only needs one [A] but I cannae talk that fast...
