Drinking Song Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][Cm][G][Cm][G][Cm][G][Cm]
[G]Drunk

[Verse 1]
men stagger,
[Cm]drunk men fall
[G]Drunk men swe[Cm]ar and that's not all[G]
[Bm]Quite often they will urinate
out[G]doors
[Cm][G]

[Verse 2]
Like widowed [Cm]women, drunk men [G]weep
Like children curled [Cm]up, drunk men sleep
[Bm]Like a dog,
a drunk will crawl around on all [G]fours

[Verse 3]
[G]
Be he [C]broke bum or rich rake
His dinner [Cm]be it bread or cake
[F]His beverage be the worse of whiskey,
[G]finest wine
[Cm][G]

[Verse 4]
Puke it stinks and [Cm]so it seems
[G]That drunkards go to great ex[Cm]tremes
[Bm]But there has yet to be a perfectly
straight [G]high
[Cm][G][Cm]

[Verse 5]
[G]Drunks talk strong [Cm]when
drunks [G]are weak
It's easy for [Cm]a drunk to speak
[G]Str[Bm]aight from the hear[G]t
[Cm]

[Verse 6]
[G]Yeah, drunks will fight
they're not afraid
They'll kiss the mistress
and make the maid
[Bm]It's a manly[G] art

[Verse 7]
[G]
Oh, but [C]big toll will take
Blood ves[Cm]sels in nose will [F]break
Bags beneath the eyes,
an[G]other [Cm]sign
[G]

[Verse 8]
Drunks get ugly, [Cm]so it seems
[G]That drunkards go to [Cm]great extremes
[G]But[Bm] there has yet to be a perfectly straight
[G]line

[Interlude 1]
[Cm][G][Cm][G][Cm][G][Cm][G]
[Cm][G]

[Verse 9]
Drunks are friendly [Cm]when
they're drunk [G]and
Drunks are hostile [Cm]when they're drunk
[Bm]Which drunk it is,
it all depends [G]upon
[Cm][G]

[Verse 10]
When drunks aren't drunk,
they thirst for drink
And the elephants are grey, not pink
And [Bm]the drink evaporates the man i[G]s gone,
gone, gone, gone

[Verse 11]
Back to the yacht[C]s and
the subway [Cm]cars
To the hip flasks and fruit [F]jars
Flat on the face and flat on [G]the behind
[Cm]

[Verse 12]
[G]Oh, drunks get drunk and so [Cm]it seems
[G]That drunkards go to gre[Cm]at ext[G]remes
[Bm]But there has yet to be a
perfectly straight [G]line[Cm]
Straight [G]line[Cm]
[G]Straight line

[Outro 1]
[Cm][G]
