Here's a [Am] story of a sinner,
He used to be a winner who enjoyed a life of prominence and [E7] position,
[E] But the pressures at the office and his socialite engagements,
And his [E7] selfish wife's fanatical am-[Am]bition,
[A7] It turned him to the booze, and he got mixed up with a floozie
And she led him to a life of inde-[Dm]cision.
The floozie [Am] made him spend his dough. She left him lying on Skid Row
A drunken lag in some [E] Salvation Army [Am] Mission.
[G#dim] It's such a [E7] shame.
[Am] Oh demon [Dm] alcohol,
[G7] Sad memories I [C] can't recall,
[Am] Who thought [Dm] I would fall,
[E] a slave to demon [Am] alcohol.
[G#dim] It's such a [E7] shame.
[Am] Barley wine, [F] pink gin,
[Am] He'll drink [F] anythin',
[Am] a Port, pernod, [F] tequila, or a [E7] beer,
[E] Rum, scotch, vodka on the rocks, as long as all his troubles dis-[Am]appear.
[A7] But he messed up his life when he beat up his wife,
And the floozie's gone and found another [Dm] sucker
[Am] She's gonna turn him on to drink, she's gonna lead him to the brink
And when his money's gone,
She'll [E7] leave him in the [Am] gutter,
[G#dim] It's such a [E7] shame.
[Am] Oh demon [Dm] alcohol,
[G7] Sad memories I [C] can't recall,
[Am] Who thought [Dm] I would fall,
[E] a slave to demon [Am] alcohol
