(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
