[Em] [A] [C]
[A] [C]
[E] Will [A] there be any [C]
bartenders [D] up there [A] in heaven?
Will [F] the pubs never [E] close?
[D] Will [C] the glass never [D] drain?
[Dm]
[Am] No more [C] DT and [G] no shakes and [Am] no horrors
[G] And the very [F] next morning [Am] you feel right [D] as rain
[B] But God [F#] loves the drunk, [B] the lowest [F#] of men
[G] Like the dogs in [D] the street [E] and the pigs in [F#] the pen
[G] But a drunk's only trying to [A] get free from his body
And [G] he soars like an eagle [A] high up [D] there in heaven
[Am] [G] And he shouts and his curses [A] are just hymns and praises
[Bm] To keep his [D] mind out [G] of there
[Bm] God loves the drunk, [E] come raise up your glasses, [G] amen
[E] Does
[G]
[A] God [C] really care [D] for your life [Am] in the sober?
[F] A [Dm] dull [Em] little [C] life full of dull [Dm] little things
[Am] And bring [C] up the babies [G] to be just [A] like Daddy
[G] And maybe [F] you'll be there when he [Am] gives up the [D] way
[B] But God [F#] loves the drunk, [Bm]
although he's a [F#] fool
[G] And he wets [D] his pants [Em] and he falls off [F#] his stool
And [G] he can't hear the insults [A] and the whispers go by him
[G] As he leans in the doorway [A] and sings Sally [D] Rack
[G] And he can feel the cold rain [A] leak down on his body
[B] And soak through his clothes to [G] the skin
[Bm] God loves the drunk, come raise up your glasses, [F#m] [Gm] amen
Will
[Em] [A] there be [C] any pen [D] pushers up [A] there in heaven?
[Am] [F] Does clocking [E] and [C] wage slaving win you [D] God's love?
[A] I pity [C] you worms with [G] your sammies [A] and pensions
If [G] you think [F] that'll get you to the [Am]
kingdom [D] above
But [Bm] God loves [F#m] the drunk, [Bm] although he's [F#m] a clown
And you [G] can't help but [D] laugh as he [G] gags and falls [F#]
down
[G] And he don't give a caress for [D] what people think of him
[Em] And he [G] screams at his demons [A] alone in the darkness
[G] He's dying alive for [D] just one more pint, honey
[B] Won't you throw him [Bm] a few [G] pennies, friend?
[B] God loves the drunk, [E] forever and ever, [G] amen
[Gm] [G]
