Tom: Am
C F
He only stops in sometimes, he only has one beer
G F G C
I remember when he used to spend his every evening here
F
Now when he gets up to go home he acts just like he's glad
G7 F G C
Well it's not a very pretty sight when drunks go bad
[Chorus]
C F C
When drunks go bad, it reflects upon us all
Am F C G7
When you sit beneath the neon beer sign flashing on the wall
Am F G Am C Em Fm
When drunks go bad, it’s a low down cryin' shame
C G7 C
When he discovered virtue, he gave vice a dirty name
[Verse]
C F
He used to buy them wicky wacky balls for blondes in short tight skirts
G F G C
And at closing time he’d smuggle out a six pack in his shirt
F
What he did not know about cheating wouldn’t fill a Dixie cup
G7 F G C
Over pink champagne in some cheap hotel he whispers "bottoms up"
[Chorus]
C F C
When drunks go bad, it reflects upon us all
Am F C G7
When we listen to our urge to sin, and sometimes heed the call
Am F G Am C Em Fm
When drunks go bad, it’s a low down cryin' shame
C G7 C
When he discovered virtue, he gave vice a dirty name
[Verse]
D G
Now he's gone back to his wife, begun the social climb
A7 G A D
He asks about us when he stops in here from time to time
G
The Pagan saints of wine and lust no longer drive him mad
A7 G A D
All the girls and I still wonder why some drunks go bad
[Chorus]
D G D
When drunks go bad, it reflects upon us all
Bm G D A7
While we shuffle on the dance floor underneath the mirror ball
Bm G A Bm D F#m Bm
When drunks go bad, it’s a low down cryin' shame
D A7 D
When he discovered virtue, he gave vice a dirty name
D A7 D
When he discovered virtue, he gave vice a dirty name
