Verse 1:
E MajorE A augmentedA
A augmentedA stinking sun burned me awake
A augmentedA
Through the shattered window panes
E MajorE
I recall through eyes of claret red
A augmentedA
He had taken me again
G# minorG#m
And the hair of the dog revives me
D MajorD
Yet I find it hard to swallow
A augmentedA
It's a marriage made in Heaven
E MajorE
Between me and the bottle
Verse 2:
E MajorE
A augmentedA thousand words drift through my hands
A augmentedA
As the room just bends
E MajorE
A augmentedA sodden mattress holds my heart
A augmentedA
And it cradles my regret
G# minorG#m
I'll read it once again
D MajorD
Though she knows that I'll not follow
A augmentedA
It's a marriage of convenience
E MajorE
Between me and the bottle
Verse 3:
E MajorE
So King Alcohol's come back
A augmentedA
With the traffic's mournful cry
E MajorE
And he swaggers, drunk and skinful,
A augmentedA
Through my throat all parched and dry
G# minorG#m
And if I should die before I wake
D MajorD
I pray the lord my soul to take
A augmentedA
So maybe I could rest
A minorAm
And never wake again in sorrow
G# minorG#m
And if I should die before I wake
D MajorD
I pray the lord my soul to take
A augmentedA
Then maybe I could rest
E MajorE
And never wake again in sorrow
Outtro:
A augmentedA
It's a marriage on the rocks
E MajorE
Between me and the bottle
