man

He says down and out Jimmy's his name
A
E
B
E
And he tells me the drink is to blame
B
E
C#m
And his eyes, they are dull and glazed over
E
A
And his coat so disheveled and marred
E
C#m
He spent half his years under the table
A
E
B
E
And the rest of them propping up the bar
E
A
On the wall was a bar sign that read
E
C#m
If a man cannot drink what he's given
A
B
How the hell can he
C#m
So every man brings a glass to the ceiling
E
B

For all those in too deep to be saved
A

And we'll drink ourselves into our

E
C#m
Well, old Jimmy's a sucker for the whisky
E
A
He drinks it like water all night
E
C#m
A
Till the ugliest prince sits upon his knee
E
B
E
And he invites her home for the night
And his tab,
B
E
B
C#m
it must stretch to the thousands
E
B
A
But his wallet is barren and bare
E
B
E
So when the city boys come
B

here and askin'
C#m
E
B

Good sir, have you a five minute spare?
C#m
So the landlord he put him a double roof
E
A
On the wall as a bar sign in bed
E
C#m
If a man had a roof on his head
A
E
Then how the hell can he
B
E
drink when he's dead?
So every man raise your
E

For all those in 2D to be saved

We'll laugh and we'll dance to be merry

So the landlord, he poured in the ground
E

On the wall was a bar sign of dread
E
C#m
If a man cannot drink what he's living
A
E
B
How the hell can he drink
So every man ran through
E
A
For a mosey ticket to be saved
E

I love the looks that set me free

I will take a step into my
