Lady Alcohol
Intro: 1 2 1 2 3 4 C Csus C Csus
Jim lived alone in a broken home he didn't have a dime
He lived by himself off the family shelf with a dollar bottle of wine
He'd loved his wife but she left his life to live with another man
Now he sings at night till the mornin's light with a bottle in his hand
Chorus
I can love you, I can leave you,I can take you night or day
You turn me on, you turn me off but you never turn me away
You help me drown my sorrow, you help to ease my pain
You're my standinlady, alcohol till she comes home again

For many years he hid his fears until he realized
She'd gone away this time to stay and the pain showed in his eyes
But he asked no help from anyone and worked to pay for wine
And clung to life with a bottle for a wife and a friend in every dime.
Chorus
I can love you, I can leave you,I can take you night or day
You turn me on, you turn me off but you never turn me away
You help me drown my sorrow, you help to ease my pain
You're my standinlady, alcohol till she comes home again

Jim left home and set out to roam the lonely mountainside
He lost his reason in the winter season wandered in the snow and died
We found him under a conifer tree when the flowers came out that spring
Now in the pines a voice like wine on a quiet night will sing
Chorus
I can love you, I can leave you,I can take you night or day
You turn me on, you turn me off but you never turn me away
You help me drown my sorrow, you help to ease my pain
You're my standinlady, alcohol till she comes home again

I can love you, I can leave you,I can take you night or day
You turn me on, you turn me off but you never turn me away
You help me drown my sorrow, you help to ease my pain
You're my standinlady, alcohol till she comes home again
