G             D           C         D
Well I'm drinking by myself, while everybody else
      G                 D                 C                D
Sings songs down in the park, brown paper bagging it after dark
           G               D        C           D
But it's a plastic bag for me, carrying my groceries
      G           D                C                 D
A few cans of champagne, chose the high life for the rain

[Verse 2]
        G                 D              C                 D
And the door man calls my name, good old Joe sure knows my game
          G                      D              C              D
Though he says it's the youth to blame, I can't say I feel the same
            G              D           C                D
See I'll be nursing number one and too soon beer two is done
              G            D             C                 D
And then it's three, four, five, six and they're all empty again

[Chorus]
    Em             D       C
And still half the flask I always forget I have
Em                               D              C
Sitting in in my office with my .38 special revolver
Em             D       C
Still half the flask I always forget I have
Em                            D              C
Sitting in my office with my .38 special revolver
Em                            D              C
Sitting in my office with my .38 special revolver
Em                            D              C
Sitting in my office with my .38 special revolver

[Verse 3]
G       D            C             D
Looking back through another empty glass
       G           D      C      D
To the past when I was so small
G       D        C            D       G
Peaking over the counter that was too tall
            D            C   D
Stealing my first sip of alcohol
G                D        C      D
This could be my last slug of it all

[Chorus]
        Em             D       C
There's still half the flask I always forget I have
Em                            D              C
Sitting in my office with my .38 special revolver
Em             D       C
Still half the flask I always forget I have
Em                            D              C
Sitting in my office with my .38 special revolver
Em                            D              C
Sitting in my office with my .38 special revolver
Em                            D              C
Sitting in my office with my .38 special revolver
Em                            D              C
Sitting in my office with my .38 special revolver
Em                            D              C
Sitting in my office with my .38 special revolver

[Refrain]
Em       B              D            C
  If the dead haunt the places their bodies are found
Em         B          D           C
  Chamber me one last round to see
      Em           B        D            C
If my luck will keep, if my luck will keep
       Em       B          D          C
Oh yes chamber me one last round to see
      Em        B         D        C
If my luck will keep this gun company

[Otro]
G             D           C         D
Drinking by myself, while everybody else
   G                 D             C              D
Is passed out in the park or going home in police cars
           G           D            C           D
They sing, Oh la da da oh la la la, Oh la da da oh la la la
G           D            C           D
Oh la da da oh la la la, Oh la da da oh la la la
G           D            C           D
Oh la da da oh la la la, Oh la da da oh la la la
G           D            C           D
Oh la da da oh la la la, Oh la da da oh la la la
G           D            C           D
Oh la da da oh la la la, Oh la da da oh la la la
G           D            C           D
Oh la da da oh la la la, Oh la da da oh la la la
