N.C.                 Em N.C.                  Am N.C.
I've got to give it up   I've got to give it up

Bb   C  N.C.
That stuff

                     Em N.C.                Am N.C.
I've got to give it up I've got to give it up

[Interlude] B5 E5 A5 C5 B5 E5 A5 C5 [Verse 1]

G5               D5      E5
Tell my mama and tell my pa

           A5             B5          E5
That their fine young son didn't get far

G5         D5              E5
He made it to the end of a bottle

A5                  C5  E5
Sitting in a sleazy bar

G5       D5           E5
He tried hard but his spirit broke

A5       B5       E5
He tried until he nearly choked

G5     D5
In the end he lost his

E5     A5           C5
Bottle drinking alcohol

[Chorus]

E5                                         A5
I've got to give it up I've got to give it up

     C5
That stuff

            B5      E5                     A5
I've got to give it up I've got to give it up

     C5
That stuff

[Verse 2]

G5                D5    E5
Tell my brother I tried to write and

A5               E5
Put pen to paper but I was frightened

G5              D5                   E5
I couldn't seem to get the words out right

A5                C5 E5
Right quite right

G5             D5  E5
Tell my sister I'm sinking slow

A5                     E5
Now and again I powder my nose

G5           D5      E5
In the end I lost my bottle

   A5              E5
It smashed in a casbah

[Chorus]

E5                                         A5
I've got to give it up I've got to give it up

     C5
That stuff

            B5      E5                     A5
I've got to give it up I've got to give it up

     C5
That stuff

[Verse 3]

G5                D5             E5
I've been messing with the heavy stuff

      A5              E5
For a time I couldn't get enough

G5                         D5         E5
But I'm waking up and it's wearing off

A5                   C5  E5
Junk don't get you far

G5           B5         E5
Tell my Mama I'm coming home

A5                      E5
In my youth I'm getting older

G5               D5   E5
And I think it's lost control

A5                 E5
Mama I'm coming home

[Chorus]

B5                  E5                A5
I've got to give it up got to give it up

     C5
That stuff

B5             E5                A5
got to give it up Got to give it up

     C5
That stuff

B5               E5                A5
Got to give it up   got to give it up

     C5
That stuff

B5                       E5      A5
Got to give it up got to give it up

     C5   B5
That stuff
