    • Verse 1
    Will 
    there 
    be 
    any 
    bar
    tenders 

    up 
    there 
    in 
    heaven? 

    Will 
    the pubs 
    never 
    close? 
    Will 

    the glass 
    never 
    drain? 

    No 
    more 
    DTs and no 

    shakes 
    and 
    no 
    horrors 

    The very 
    next 
    morn
    ing, 

    you 
    feel 
    right 
    as 
    rain 

    Verse 2

    'Cause 
    God 
    loves 
    a drunk
    , 

    lowest 
    of men 

    Like 
    the dogs 
    in 
    the street 

    and 
    the pigs 
    in 
    the pen 

    But a 
    drunk's only 
    trying 
    to 

    get 
    free 
    of 
    his 
    body 

    And soar 
    like 
    an 
    eagle 
    high 

    up there 
    in 
    heaven 

    His shouts 
    and his 
    curses 
    they 

    are just 
    hymns 
    and 
    praises 

    To 
    kick
    -start 
    his 
    his 
    mind 
    now 
    and 
    then 

    O 
    God 
    loves 
    a drunk, 
    come 
    raise 
    up 
    your 
    glasses, 

    amen 

    Verse 3

    Does 
    God 
    really 
    care 
    for 
    your 

    life 
    in 
    the 
    sub
    urbs? 

    Your dull 
    little 
    life 
    full 
    of 
    dull 
    little 
    things 

    And 
    bring 
    up 
    the ba
    bies 
    to 

    be 
    just 
    like 
    daddy 

    And maybe 
    I'll 
    be 
    there 
    when he 

    gives 
    out 
    the wings 

    Verse 4
    But 
    God 
    loves 
    a drunk, 

    al
    though 
    he's 
    a fool 

    Oh 
    he wets 
    in his 
    pant
    s 
    and he fall

    s 
    off 
    his stool 

    And he 
    can't 
    hear 
    the 
    insults, 

    and 
    whisper
    s 
    go 
    by 
    him 

    As he 
    leans 
    in 
    the doorway 
    and he 

    sing
    s sally 
    racket 

    He can't 
    feel 
    the cold 
    rain 

    beat 
    down 
    on 
    his 
    body 

    And soak 
    through 
    his clothes 
    to 
    the skin 

    O 
    God 
    loves 
    a drunk, 

    come 
    raise 
    up 
    your 
    glasses, 
    amen 

    Verse 5

    Will 
    there 
    be 
    any 
    pen-push
    ers 
    up 

    up 
    there 
    in 
    heaven? 

    Does crawling 
    and 
    wage-slav
    ing 

    win 
    win 
    you 
    God's 
    love? 

    I pity 
    you 
    worms 
    with your 

    semis and 
    pen
    sions 

    If you 
    think 
    that'll 
    get 
    you 
    to 

    the 
    kingdom 
    above 

    Verse 6
    Oh 
    God 
    loves 
    a drunk, 

    al
    though 
    he's 
    a clown 

    Oh 
    you 
    can't 
    help 
    but laugh 
    as he 

    gags 
    and 
    fall
    s 
    down 

    But he 
    don't 
    give 
    a curse 
    for what 

    people 
    think 
    of him 

    He screams 
    at 
    his 
    demons 

    alone 
    in 
    the darkness 

    He's 
    staying 
    alive 
    for 
    just 

    one 
    more 
    pint 
    bottle 

    Won't 
    you throw 
    him 
    a few 
    pen
    nies, 

    friend? 

    Ah 
    God 
    loves 
    a drunk, 

    for 
    ever 
    and 
    ever, 
    amen

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
