Slim Dusty – My Pal Alcohol (Guitar)

E
Now I've been drinkin' since I was four

A
Ain't had enough and I still want more

E                                    B
Fill 'em up again place the glasses in a row

E
I've been in the horrors and started to shake

A
But good hard liquor is what I take

E                    B
And my pal alcohol I love you so

A
When I'm far away from home

E
And there's no pub I brew my own

A                             B
Out of vegetables or anything that grows

E
I drink it till my eyes bulge out

A
Then I scream and rave and shout

E                        B
'Cause my pal alcohol I love you so

A
I've a lot of good reasons for drinkin'

E
And one has just entered my head

A
If you don't have a charge while you're livin'

B
You've got no flamin' chance when you're dead

E
Oh I don't care what people think

A
It's a well known fact I'll die from drink

E                         B
'Cause my pal alcohol I love you so

A
I've very fine physicians

E
They've guarded me since my youth

A
One doctors name is Toohey

B
The other ones name is Tooth

E
I've seen my whiskers curl and singe

A
When I get through from a weekend binge

E                         B
'Cause my pal alcohol I love you so

A
When I'm far away from home

E
And there's no pub I brew my own

A                                 B
Out of vegetables or anything that grows

E
I drink it till my eyes bulge out

A
Then I scream and rave and shout

E                      B
'Cause my pal alcohol I love you so

A
Oh I hear there's a drink called water

E
It may appeal to some blokes

A
But to me I think it's unhealthy

B
See what it does to the bottoms of boats

E
This song's about to end I think

A
So I must go for another drink

E                            B
'Cause my pal alcohol I love you so
