Verse 1
(E minor) Will there be any bar (G major) tenders
(Dsus4) up there in heaven? (E minor)
Will the pubs (C major) never close? (G major) Will
the glass never drain? (A minor)
(E minor) No more (G major) DTs and no

Verse 2
(A minor)
(A major) 'Cause (F sharp minor) God loves a drunk (C sharp minor) ,
(F sharp minor) lowest of men (C sharp minor)
Like the dogs (D major) in the street (A major)
and the pigs (B major) in the pen (C sharp major)
(A major) But a (D major) drunk's only trying to
get free (E minor) of his body
And soar (D major) like an eagle high
(E minor) up there (E major) in heaven
(E minor) His shouts (D major) and his curses they
are just (Esus4) hymns (E major) and praises
To kick (F sharp minor) -start his his mind (E major) now and then (D major)
O (F sharp minor) God loves a drunk, come (B minor) raise (B major) up your (B minor) glasses,
(B major) (G major) amen
(D major) (D minor) (D major)

Verse 3
Does (E minor) God really care (G major) for your
(Dsus4) life in the (D major) sub (E minor) urbs?
Your dull (C major) little life (G major) full of dull little things
(A minor) And (E minor) bring up the ba (G major) bies to
be (D major) just like daddy (E minor)
And maybe (D major) I'll be (C major) there when he
(E minor) gives out the wings
(Asus4) (A major)
Verse 4
(A minor) (A major) But (F sharp minor) God loves a drunk,
(C sharp minor) (C sharp major) al (F sharp minor) though he's a fool (C sharp minor)
Oh he wets (D major) in his pant (A major) s and he fall
(B major) s off his stool (C sharp major)
And he (D major) can't hear the insults,
and (E minor) whisper (E major) s go by him
As he (D major) leans in the doorway and he
sing (E major) s sally racket (Esus4)
(E major) He can't (D major) feel the cold rain
beat down (E major) on his body
And soak (F sharp minor) through his clothes to (A major) the skin
O (D major) (F sharp minor) God loves a drunk,
come (B major) raise up your glasses, (D major) amen (D minor)
Verse 5
(D minor) (D major)
(G major) Will there (E minor) be any pen-push (G major) ers up
(D major) up there in heaven? (E minor)
Does crawling (C major) and wage-slav (G major) ing
win win you God's love? (A minor)
I pity (E minor) you worms (G major) with your
(D major) semis and pen (E minor) sions
If you (D major) think that'll get (C major) you to
the kingdom (E minor) above
Verse 6
(Asus4) Oh (A major) (F sharp minor) God loves a drunk,
(C sharp minor) (C sharp major) (F sharp minor) al though he's a clown (C sharp minor)
Oh you (D major) can't help but laugh (A major) as he
gags (B minor) and fall (C sharp major) s down (C sharp minor)
But he don't (D major) give a curse for what
(E major) people think of him
He screams (D major) at his demons
alone (E major) in the darkness
He's (D major) staying alive for just
one (E major) more pint bottle
Won't you throw (F sharp minor) him a few pen (A major) nies,
friend? (D major)
Ah God loves (F sharp minor) a drunk,
for (B minor) ever (B major) and ever, (D major) amen
