(Spoken)
I went to see an old army buddy of mine to do some drinking
And his wife had become an alcoholic
And I wrote a song about it

G    Em G
//// / /

CHORUS:
 G                  C
Pay no attention to Alice,
        G            Em
She`s drunk all the time
 C              G
Booked on that wine,
 C
Bunches of it
        G          Em  G    G   Em G
And it ruined her mind

 G                  C
Pay no attention to Alice,
      G          Em
They say she`s a sot,
 C           G
Sane she is not
         C
But she loves it
          G           Em G   G   Em G
And it`s all she`s got


VERSE:
     D                          C
She made that apple pie from a memory
           G
Made them biscuits
          D
From a recollection
          G  Em G    G   Em G
That she had

     D
She cooked that chicken too long
               C
But she don`t know that
G                 Em G    G   Em G
Oh, what the hell,
D
It ain`t too bad!


CHORUS:
 G                  C
Pay no attention to Alice,
        G            Em
She`s drunk all the time
 C              G
Booked on that wine,
 C
Bunches of it
        G         Em  G    G   Em G
And it ruined her mind

 G                  C
Pay no attention to Alice,
      G          Em
They say she`s a sot,
 C           G
Sane she is not
         C
But she loves it
          G           Em G   G   Em G
And it`s all she`s got


VERSE:
 D                                 C
Don`t talk about the war, I was a coward
            G
Talk about fishing
             D
And all the good times
         G  Em G    G   Em G
Raising hell

 D
Empty that one down,
            C
We`ll get another
 G                Em G    G   Em G
It`s gettin` late,
D
We might as well


VERSE:
        D
But we ran your car into a ditch,
             C
Man, don`t sweat it
        G
I know Ben
              D
Down at the Shell station
                  G  Em G    G   Em G
And he`ll get it out


OUTRO:
 D                             C
Alice, put your ashes in that ashtray
         G    Em G    G   Em G
I swear woman,
              D
You`re gonna burn down the house

 G                  C
Pay no attention to Alice,
        G
She`s drunk all the time
