Intro:
Am G F C G6

Am G F C Em7

Am

     G      F
Here I sit at the fire
            C        G6 Am
Liquor's bitter flames warm my languid soul
         G       F
Here I drink alone and remember
          C      Em7  Am
A graven life, the stain of her memory
      G       F
In this cup, love's poison
         C    G6  Am
For love is the poison of life
      G       F
Tip the cup, feed the fire,
         C        Em7
And forget about useless fucking hope. . .

Am      Em7     G  Am
Lost in the desolation of love
   G     F    Am
The passions we reap and sow
       Em7     G  Am
Lost in the desolation of life
   G      F   Am
This path that we walk. . .

G F C G6

Am G F C Em7 Am

        G       F
Here's to love, the sickness
      C      G6 Am
The great martyr of the soul
        G     F
Here's to life, the vice
      C     Em7  Am
The great herald of misery
      G         F
In this cup, spiritus frumenti
         C       Em7 Am
For this is the nectar of the spirit
         G         F
Quench the thirst, drown the sorrow
         C   Em7
And forget about cold yesterdays. . .


Am      Em7     G  Am
Lost in the desolation of love
   G     F    Am
The passions we reap and sow
       Em7     G  Am
Lost in the desolation of life
   G      F   Am
This path that we walk. . .

Am      Em7     G  Am
Lost in the desolation of love
   G     F    Am
The sorrows we reap and sow
       Em7     G  Am
Lost in the desolation of life
   G      F   Am
This path that we walk. . .
