[Verse 1]
  A
I saw the ole man shuffle down the street
    D                                 Bm7
His rotten shoes were tied around his feet
  A               E7             F#m  A
I saw him stagger just before he fell
    D                 E7              A
And heard him mention something about hell

A
Lord you know it's raining in my mind
    D                           Bm
And you can turn the water into wine
A                   E               F#m   A
Please just give me one more second chance
D                 E7             A
Play me something you know I can dance

Continues after the ad
[Chorus]
     D
Lord help me make this day don't call me home
  A
I swear I'll make tomorrow on my own
                    C#m            F#m             A
Lord send me just a half a pint to let me know you care
   D             E7                A
Or this ol' wino just won't have a prayer

[Break]
C#m  F#m7  A  D  E7  A

[Verse 2]
A
I was passin' by the other day
D                                 Bm
Heard the old man finally passed away
A               E7             F#m  A
Someone said it got him in his prime
      D              E7             A
Cause he still had a half a pint of wine

Then I heard him say

[Chorus]
     D
Lord help me make this day don't call me home
  A
I swear I'll make tomorrow on my own
                    C#m            F#m             A
Lord send me just a half a pint to let me know you care
   D             E7                A
Or this ol' wino just won't have a prayer

[Other]
   D             E7                A
Or this ol' wino just won't have a prayer
