Chords with lyrics
G+G D7D7 G+G
I used to be a big man I owned most all this town
C majorC G+G A7A7 D7D7
And I was well respected by folks for miles around
G+G D7D7 G+G
Then I turned to the bottle lost my home destroyed my name
C majorC G+G D7D7 G+G
My drinking friends elected me to the Alcohol of Fame
D7D7 C majorC G+G
Tonight there'll be no laughter when I tell them how I feel
D7D7 A7A7 D7D7
But a man must make his mark in life no matter how unreal
G+G D7D7 G+G
For tonight I'll be rewarded for my failure and my shame
C majorC G+G D7D7 G+G
My drinking friends elected me to the Alcohol of Fame
D7D7 G+G
Tonight I'll dress I'll go downtown to the barroom on skid row
C majorC G+G A7A7 D7D7
My friends will take me by the hand when I reach those swinging doors
G+G D7D7 G+G
I'll be the guest of honor when they immortalize my name
C majorC G+G D7D7 G+G
My drinking friends elected me to the Alcohol of Fame
D7D7 C majorC G+G
Tonight there'll be no laughter when I tell them how I feel
D7D7 A7A7 D7D7
But a man must make his mark in life no matter how unreal
G+G D7D7 G+G
For tonight I'll be rewarded for my failure and my shame
C majorC G+G D7D7 G+G
My drinking friends elected me to the Alcohol of Fame
C majorC G+G D7D7 G+G
My drinking friends elected me to the Alcohol of Fame
