When Drunks Go Bad

   C                           F
He only stops in sometimes, he only 
has one beer
  G                                
I remember when he used to spend 
  F     G       C
his every evening here
Now when he gets up to go home he 
                    F
acts just like he's glad
          G7                     
Well it's not a very pretty sight 
      F      G  C
when drunks go bad

[Chorus]
C                        F       
When drunks go bad, it reflects 
        C
upon us all
         Am              F        
When you sit beneath the neon beer
     C                G7
 sign flashing on the wall
               Am          F      
When drunks go bad, it’s a low 
   G     Am C Em Fm
down cryin' shame
     C                             
When he discovered virtue, he gave 
G7           C
vice a dirty name

[Verse]

C                             
He used to buy them wicky wacky 
            F
balls for blondes in short tight 
skirts
       G                           
And at closing time he’d smuggle 
    F       G       C
out a six pack in his shirt
What he did not know about cheating 
                      F
wouldn’t fill a Dixie cup
     G7                          
Over pink champagne in some cheap 
          F       G         C
hotel he whispers "bottoms up"

[Chorus]
C                        F       
When drunks go bad, it reflects 
        C
upon us all
         Am           F           
When we listen to our urge to sin,
     C                  G7
 and sometimes heed the call
               Am          F      
When drunks go bad, it’s a low 
   G     Am C Em Fm
down cryin' shame
     C                             
When he discovered virtue, he gave 
G7           C
vice a dirty name

D                             
Now he's gone back to his wife, 
  G
begun the social climb
   A7                             
He asks about us when he stops in 
G          A      D
here from time to time
The Pagan saints of wine and lust no
                  G
 longer drive him mad
        A7                         
All the girls and I still wonder 
       G      A  D
why some drunks go bad

[Chorus]
D                        G       
When drunks go bad, it reflects 
       D
upon us all
         Bm              G        
While we shuffle on the dance 
       D                A7
floor underneath the mirror ball
               Bm          G      
When drunks go bad, it’s a low 
   A     Bm D F#m Bm
down cryin' shame
     D                             
When he discovered virtue, he gave 
A7           D
vice a dirty name
     D                             
When he discovered virtue, he gave 
A7           D
vice a dirty name
