Old Liquor Store

    A                              
'You bastard, you son of a bitch, I
                  E
 wish you were dead.*
  D                                
Were the words that my dear mother 
                            A   E
called as I crawled out of bed
 A                             
I don't know what happened last 
night, but there's puke on the floor
D
 and a gash in my head
      A    E                  A
But today is gonna be a good day

[Verse]
 A                               
I went into work, but they said I 
           E
don't work there no more
  D                         
Had my desk in a box, guards 
                       A  E
escorted me to the door
        A                          
And as I walked away, I lit my last
             D
 cigarette, it's off to the old 
liquor store
    A  E                  A
Today is gonna be a good day

          A                      
(Rockin) I loved my Marie, I gave 
                 E
her my heart and my soul
         D                    
And the house and the cars, in 
                            A  E
divorce the bitch took it all
         A                         
Her new boyfriend Terry, he sleeps 
                         D
in my bed, he's got a full head of 
hair and he's tall
     A     E                  A
But today is gonna be a good day

[Verse]
D
Alone! I'm alone in this world!
        E                          
Like a traveler lost on the seas, 
            A
my flag is unfurled
           D                    
We could fight, fight, fight but 
            A
what’s it all for?
         E                         
In the end we all wind up again at 
                  A
the old liquor store

[Verse]
A
That guy with the cross on the 
corner of 12th street and Q
         D                         
Told me I'm going to Hell, I said, 
                               A  E
'Buddy, I'm no worse than you
        A                          
I'd love to chat more but I'm late 
                   D
for my movie, don't you have better 
things to do?
 A     E                    A
Today, is gonna be a good day
