Drinking Song(Chords)

	        

A                   Asus4 
Drunk men stagger, drunk men fall 
A                  Asus4 
Drunk men swear & that's not all 
C#m                               A 
Quite often drunks will urinate outdoors 
A                   Asus4 
Like widowed women drunk men weep 
A                       Asus4 
Like children curled up drunk men sleep 
C#m                                        A 
Like a dog a drunk will crawl about on all fours 
D 
Be it broke bum or rich rake 
     Dm 
His dinner be it bread or cake  
       D/G 
His beverage be the worst of whiskey, finest wine 
A                 Asus4 
Puke it stinks & so it seems 
A                  Asus4 
A drunkard goes to great extremes 
C#m                                          A 
But there has yet to be a perfectly straight line 
                                                                               
Drunks are strong & drunks are weak 
It's easy for a drunk to speak 
Straight from the heart 
Drunks will fight, their not afraid 
They'll kiss the mistress & make the maid 
Oh, but it's a manly art 
But it takes it toll on blood vessels & from there it will raise 
Bags beneath the eyes & other signs 
Drunks get ugly so it seems & drunks will go to great extremes 
But there has yet to be a perfectly straight line. 

Drunks are friendly when they're drunk 
And drunks are hostile when they're drunk 
Which drunk it is it all depends upon 
When drunk men drink they thirst they thirst for drink 
Their elephants are grey not pink 
When the drink evaporates the man is gone, gone, gone 
Back to the flats & the subway cars 
To the hipflasks & the fruit jars 
Flat on thier face & flat on their backs 
Drunks get drunk & so it seems  
That drunks will go to great extremes 
But there has yet to be a perfectly straight line
