The Drink

Tab submitted by Chris M. Pova

                           Em 	  	     D
His wife walked out on him and their boy of four years
       Em 	  	  	        Am
The boy just sat there, his face covered in tears
                C 	  	  	 D
He said, “Tell me daddy, where did Mommy go?”
       Em 	  	  	  	            D
The man grabbed his whiskey, said, “Son, leave me alone.”
                Em 	  	  	        D
What the boy didn't know was that his dad was a drunk
                 Em 	  	              Am
He'd been beating his wife for the last couple months

(mini chord solo) Em D Em Am

                 Em 	                        D
I saw that little boy in the store today
 Em 	  	                     Am
Standing with his daddy in the line to pay
       C 	  	  	        D
The boy said, “Daddy will you buy me a snack?”
         Em 	  	  	 D
And what the man replied, y'all, it set me aback
       Em 	  	                         D
His dad just told him, “Boy I'm all out of cash.”
              Em 	          Am
But two Colt 45s I saw tight in his grasp

            G 	                   Em
It was then that I realized, yes I came to see
           Am 	  	  	   D
What crazy things some people will do for a drink
    Em 	  	  	 Am
Neglect their children beat up their wives
        C 	  	  	  	          D
Just drink, and drink, and drink, till they ruin their lives

(chord solo) Em D Em Am    Em D Em Am

       Em 	  	              D
The boy came home one day and found
       Em 	  	            Am
That in the bottle, his father had drowned
               C 	  	    D
Saw his daddy lying on the floor that day
           Em 	  	  	         D
Said, “God, why'd you have to take my daddy away?
       Em 	  	  	  	              D
If I knew this would happen, I would have told him to stop
 Em 	  	  	      Am
Now I have no one, since my mommy ran off.”

            G 	                       Em
It was then that he realized, yes he came to see
           Am 	  	  	   D
What crazy things some people will do for a drink
    Em 	  	  	 Am
Neglect their children beat up their wives
        C 	  	  	  	          D
Just drink, and drink, and drink, till they ruin their lives

        Em 	  	  	  	           D
Now twenty years have passed since that horrible day
        Em 	  	  	           Am
The bruises and nightmares have faded away
        C 	  	  	      D
The boy grew up and moved on with his life
                 Em 	  	  	  D
He's got a son and a daughter and a beautiful wife
             Em 	  	  	 D
Made a pact with himself when he sat down to think
       Em 	  	           Am
I'll never surrender myself to the drink

            G 	                       Em
It was then that he realized, yes he came to see
           Am 	  	  	   D
What crazy things some people will do for a drink
    Em 	  	  	 Am
Neglect their children beat up their wives
        C 	  	  	  	          D
Just drink, and drink, and drink, till they ruin their lives

            G 	                       Em
It was then that he realized, yes he came to see
           Am 	  	  	   D
What crazy things some people will do for a drink
