Slims Lament

D A E A

[Verse 1]
A
I took my first drink
            D
The second I awoke
                   A               
And as my head began to sink, I 
                    E    E7
felt that my heart just broke
A
I fall to my knees
               D
What else can I do?
               A          E7      
I'm praying to God but I'm calling
     A
 for you

[Chorus]
  D                           A
I swear that I've tried everything 
but suicide
D                       A
And every day is still the same
    D                  A
With each new tear the same old pain
 is here
   B7                              
Oh death, you'll have so little 
    E   E7
left to claim
  A                             
I stare in the mirror at a man I 
        D
hardly knew
               A          E       
I'm praying to God but I'm calling
     A
 for you

[Chorus]
  D                           A
I swear that I've tried everything 
but suicide
D                       A
And every day is still the same
    D                  A
With each new tear the same old pain
 is here
   B7                              
Oh death, you'll have so little 
    E   E7
left to claim
  A                             
I stare in the mirror at a man I 
        D
hardly knew
               A          E       
I'm praying to God but I'm calling
     A
 for you
               A        E   
I'm praying to God but I keep 
             A
calling for you
