[Intro] A Asus A Asus [Verse 1]
  A
I saw the ole man shuffle down the street

    D                                 Bm7
His rotten shoes were tied around his feet

  A               E7             F#m  A
I saw him stagger just before he fell

    D                 E7              A
And heard him mention something about hell

A
Lord you know it's raining in my mind

    D                           Bm
And you can turn the water into wine

A                   E               F#m   A
Please just give me one more second chance

D                 E7             A
Play me something you know I can dance
[Chorus]
     D
Lord help me make this day don't call me home

  A
I swear I'll make tomorrow on my own

                    C#m            F#m             A
Lord send me just a half a pint to let me know you care

   D             E7                A
Or this ol' wino just won't have a prayer
[Break] C#m F#m7 A D E7 A [Verse 2]
A
I was passin' by the other day

D                                 Bm
Heard the old man finally passed away

A               E7             F#m  A
Someone said it got him in his prime

      D              E7             A
Cause he still had a half a pint of wine
Then I heard him say [Chorus]
     D
Lord help me make this day don't call me home

  A
I swear I'll make tomorrow on my own

                    C#m            F#m             A
Lord send me just a half a pint to let me know you care

   D             E7                A
Or this ol' wino just won't have a prayer
[Outro]
   D             E7                A
Or this ol' wino just won't have a prayer

A                   D         A
                How sweet the sound .....
