[Fm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _
_ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ [N] _
_ Thank you. _ _ _
The wild [F] dancers here. _ _ _ _
Do we have any drunks in the audience this evening? _ _ _
_ This one's for all the drunks. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ [F] _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ [G] Will there be any [Bb] _ bartenders?
_ [F] Look there [Gm] in the heaven. _ _ _
Well, _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] the pub's never _ [Bb] closed _
And the glass never [C] _ drained
[Cm] _
No _ _ _ [G] more [Bb] DTs, _ [F] no shakes and [Gm] no _ horrors
_ _ _ [F] The very next [Eb] morning _ [Gm] you feel right [C] as rain
_ Cause _ _ [Bb] _ [Am] God [Em] loves the drunk, _ _ [Am] the lowest [Em] of men
_ [Fm] With the dogs in the [C] street and [Dm] the pigs in [E] the pen _
But _ _ _ [F] a drunk's only trying to get [G] free of his moody
_ [F] And so like an eagle _ [G] high up there in heaven
_ [F] The shouts and his _ curses [G] are just hymns and praises
_ [F] [Am] To kick start his [C] mind now [F] and _ then
_ _ _ _ [Am] For God loves the drunk, _ [D] come raise up your glasses [Fm] in _ _
Does _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [G] God [Bb] really care [F] for your life in [G] the suburbs?
[Gm] _ _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] Your dull little [Bb] life, _ full of dull little [Cm] things _
_ And _ _ [Gm] you bring up the [Bb] babies [F] to be just like [Gm] daddy
_ _ And _ _ [F] _ maybe [Bb] I'll be [Eb]
there when [Gm] he gives out the [C] _
wings
_ _ _ God [Bb] _ [Am] _
loves [Em] the drunk, _ _ [Am] although he's [Em] a fool
_ [F] Oh, he wets his _ [C] pants and he [Dm] falls off his [E] stool
_ _ And _ _ [F] he can't hear the _ insults [G] and the whispers _ goodbye
_ [F] As he lies in the doorway _ [G] and he sings Sally Ride
_ [F] And he can't feel the cold rain [G] creep down on his body
_ [Am] And soak through his _
[G] clothes [F] to the skin _ _
_ _ _ [Am] God loves the drunk, _ _ _ [D] come raise up your glasses _ _ [F] in _ _
[Fm] Will _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ [G] there be any [Bb] pen pushes _ [F] up there in [G] _ heaven? _ _ _
_ [Eb] Just crawling and [Bb] wage slaving _ when your God's [Cm] love
_ _ _ _ Oh, [G] how pretty [Bb] you are _ [F] with your semis [Gm] and pensions _ _
If [F] you think that'll get you [Eb] to [Bb] the kingdom _ _
[C] _ _ above _ _ _ _
[D] _ [Am] God [Em] loves the drunk, _ _ [Am] although he's [Em] a clown _
_ [F] You can't help but [C] laugh as [Dm] he gags and falls [E] down
_ _ But _ _ _ _ _ [F] he don't give a curse for [G] what he was think of
_ [F] He screams at his demons _ _ [G] alone in the darkness
_ [F] He's spent a life for [G] just one more pint _
_ [Dm] [Am] Won't you throw him a [C] few _ [F] pennies, friend? _ _ _ _
_ _ [Am] God loves the drunk, _ _ _ [D] forever _ and ever, _ _ [Fm] _ amen _
_ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
