ch]Am[/ch
Here is a story about a sinner,
He used to be a winner who enjoyed a life of prominence and
ch]E/B[/ch
position,
But the pressures at the office and his socialite engagements,
ch]Am[/ch
And his selfish wife's fanatical ambition,
ch]A[/ch
It turned him to the booze,
And he got mixed up with a floosie
ch]Dm[/ch
And she led him to a life of indecision.
ch]Am[/ch
The floosie made him spend his dole
She left him lying on Skid Row
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]E7[/ch] [ch]E7/B[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]E7[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
A drunken lag in some Salvation Army Mission.
E7 (an introductory arpeggio)
It's such a shame.
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]Dm11[/ch] [ch]Dm[/ch
Oh demon alcohol,
ch]Dm[/ch] [ch]E7(b9)[/ch] [ch]E7[/ch
Sad memories I cannot recall,
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]Dm9[/ch] [ch]Dm[/ch
Who thought I would say,
ch]E7[/ch] [ch]Am11[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
Damn it all, blow it all,
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]Dm11[/ch] [ch]Dm[/ch
Oh demon alcohol,
ch]Dm[/ch] [ch]E7(b9)[/ch] [ch]E7[/ch
Memories I can't recall,
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]Dm9[/ch] [ch]E7[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]E7[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
Who thought I would fall a slave to demon alcohol.

ch]Dm[/ch] [ch]E7(b9)[/ch] [ch]E7[/ch
Sad memories I can't recall,
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]Dm9[/ch] [ch]E7[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]E7[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
Who thought I would fall a slave to demon alcohol.
(16 Bars as intro)
ch]Am[/ch
Barley wine pink gin,
He'll drink anything,
ch]E/B[/ch
Port, pernod or tequila,
Rum, scotch, vodka on the rocks,
ch]Am[/ch
As long as all his troubles disappeared.
ch]A[/ch
But he messed up his life when he beat up his wife,
ch]Dm[/ch
And the floosie's gone and found another sucker
ch]Am[/ch
She's gonna turn him on to drink
She's gonna lead him to the brink
And when his money's gone,
ch]E7[/ch] [ch]E7/B[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
She'll leave him in the gutter,
E7 (ascending roll)
It's such a shame.
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]Dm11[/ch
Oh demon alcohol,
ch]Dm[/ch] [ch]E7(b9)[/ch
Sad memories I cannot recall,
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]Dm9[/ch
Who thought I would fall,
ch]E7[/ch] [ch]Am11[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
Damn it all, blow it all.
