A Desolation Song

Intro : Am G F C Em

Am          G
Here I sit at the fire
F                      C    
Liquor's bitter flames warm my 
    Em
languid soul
Am                G
Here I drink alone and remember
F                      C        
A graven life, the stain of her 
Em
memory
Am          G
In this cup, love's poison
F                      C        Em
For love is the poison of life
Am          G
Tip the cup, feed the fire,

And forget about useless hope. . .
Am                    G
Lost in the desolation of love

F                            C   
The passions we reap and sow
     Em

Am                    G
Lost in the desolation of life
F                      C       Em
This path that we walk. . .
Am             G
Here's to love, the sickness

The great martyr of the soul
Am             G
Here's to life, the vice
F                            C   
The great herald of misery
     Em

Am          G
In this cup, spiritus frumenti
F                            C   
For this is the nectar of the 
     Em
spirit
Am               G
Quench the thirst, drown the sorrow
F                            C   
And forget about cold yesterdays.
