A New Drink For The Old Drunk Chords

Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

DWould you try, could you buy a new Gdrink for the Aold drunk

It’s no cDrime to resign miGsery with a bAottle

Well, you wGalked into Atown without mBmaking a sDound

And you Gslipped as you sAlammed your face iBmnto the crDowd

As you tGried to fAorget all the Bmwords that were Dsaid

To dGeny all the tAhings that you Bmkeep in your Dhead

When you came you were new but toGday you’re much olAder

You were Dspent so you went to get Gused in the cAorner

Where they kGicked you aAround like a Bmrodeo Dclown

And it Gechoed through tAown they were bBmeating you Ddown

And as they sGpread the wAord that you Bmliked how it Dhurt

All at Gonce you were caAuse for a Bmpitiful cDure

DHours pass by half forgotten

GNight turns blAack ‘cause it’s rotten

And Dwe slide right to the bottom

OGur tongues mAade out of cotton

DEyes seal shut in a slumber

G‘Til we hear sAomeone mumble

DCould you spare from the tumbler

GA new dArink for the old drunk

DNow you waste all your days in the dGark in the cAorner

Without lDight, without grace, where you Gwait for the slAaughter

Where they sGpit in your fAace as the hoBmurs grow laDte

And they lGaugh as they lAie and then sBmeal up your fDate

And youG cringe as you bAinge to fBmorget how you hDate

All the Gdoom in this Apitiful rBmoom you crDeate

DHours pass by half forgotten

GNight turns bAlack ‘cause it’s rotten

And Dwe slide right to the bottom

OGur tongues mAade out of cotton

DEyes seal shut in a slumber

G‘Til we hear sAomeone mumble

DCould you spare from the tumbler

GA new driAnk for the old drunk
