New Drink for the Old Drunk
Crooked Fingers
Capo 2

D MajorD                 G+G       A augmentedA
Would you try, could you buy a new drink for the old drunk
     D MajorD        G+G      A augmentedA
It’s no crime to resign misery with a bottle
      G+G     A augmentedA       B minorBm    D MajorD
Well, you walked into town without making a sound
    G+G        A augmentedA         B minorBm    D MajorD
And you slipped as you slammed your face into the crowd
    G+G    A augmentedA       B minorBm       D MajorD
As you tried to forget all the words that were said
  G+G      A augmentedA       B minorBm      D MajorD
To deny all the things that you keep in your head
                 G+G         A augmentedA
When you came you were new but today you’re much older
     D MajorD            G+G      A augmentedA
You were spent so you went to get used in the corner
      G+G     A augmentedA      B minorBm  D MajorD
Where they kicked you around like a rodeo clown
    G+G        A augmentedA       B minorBm     D MajorD
And it echoed through town they were beating you down
       G+G     A augmentedA      B minorBm      D MajorD
And as they spread the word that you liked how it hurt
    G+G        A augmentedA     B minorBm    D MajorD
All at once you were cause for a pitiful cure
D MajorD
Hours pass by half forgotten
G+G       A augmentedA
Night turns black ‘cause it’s rotten
  D MajorD
And we slide right to the bottom
 G+G      A augmentedA
Our tongues made out of cotton
D MajorD
Eyes seal shut in a slumber
G+G       A augmentedA
‘Til we hear someone mumble
D MajorD
Could you spare from the tumbler
G+G   A augmentedA
A majorA new drink for the old drunk
D MajorD                  G+G      A augmentedA
Now you waste all your days in the dark in the corner
     D MajorD               G+G       A augmentedA
Without light, without grace, where you wait for the slaughter
      G+G      A augmentedA      B minorBm     D MajorD
Where they spit in your face as the hours grow late
     G+G       A augmentedA      B minorBm      D MajorD
And they laugh as they lie and then seal up your fate
    G+G        A augmentedA    B minorBm       D MajorD
And you cringe as you binge to forget how you hate
    G+G      A augmentedA    B minorBm    D MajorD
All the doom in this pitiful room you create
D MajorD
Hours pass by half forgotten
G+G      A augmentedA
Night turns black ‘cause it’s rotten
  D MajorD
And we slide right to the bottom
 G+G      A augmentedA
Our tongues made out of cotton
D MajorD
Eyes seal shut in a slumber
G+G       A augmentedA
‘Til we hear someone mumble
D MajorD
Could you spare from the tumbler
G+G    A augmentedA
A majorA new drink for the old drunk
