I Pray When Im Drunk

Robyn Hitchcock


Tom: G

G
I pray when I'm drunk, I pray for guidance
                                 D
To get me from the sewer where I am
D
Yeah, I don't know who to, I pray to someone
                               G
To get me on my way and give a damn
G
Yeah, I pray when I'm drunk, pray when I'm sober
                                     C
I'm grateful for the man than I've become
C                                 G
Yeah, I swarm with the bees and I booze with the mackerel
      D                            G
And I think about you every time I strum


[Chorus]
                C
Some things can change
                G            D
Some things you cannot change
               Am
All things are strange


[Verse 2]
G
I pray when I'm drunk, I feel the hammer
                                 D
Of judgement as it smashes on my soul
D
Yeah, I'm glad that I'm drunk, I feel more open
                            G
To spiritual leanings that I hold
G
Yeah, I'm glad when I'm drunk, glad when I'm sober
                                     C
I'm grateful for the hangover that's gone
        C                G
And I'm grateful to you, and all the pickings
         D                               G
From the carcass of the life that I came from
         D                               G
From the carcass of the life that I came from


[Chorus]
                C
Some things can change
                G            D
Some things you cannot change
               Am
All things are strange
