Alcohol Tab

by Barenaked Ladies




  S1: I've seen a lot of people request this one all over the place, and
  it's already in the archive, but it's way off so I had to set things
  right. On the CD they use guitar capo 2, and it sounds better that way.
  During the verses and intro the B7, D7, and A7 are all bar chords., INTRO

  , , , --, ,  

  VERSE ONE 
     - 
  Alchohol, my permanent accessory 
     - 
  Alchohol, a party time necessity 
      
  Alchohol, alternative to feeling like yourself 
    , , , , 
  Oh, alchohol, I still drink to your health 

  CHORUS 
     --    
  I love you more than I did the week before I discovered alchohol 

  VERSE TWO 
     - 
  Forget the cafe latte, screw the raspberry iced tea 
     - 
  A Malibu and Coke for you, a G. and T. for me 
      
  Alchohol, your songs resolve like my life never will 
    , , ,  
  When someone else is picking up the bill 

  CHORUS (as above) 
      
  Oh, alchohol, would you please forgive me? 
       ,  
  For while I cannot love myself, I'll use something else 

  BRIDGE 
        
  I thought that alchohol was just for those with nothing else to do 
     /  
  I thought that drinking just to get drunk was a waste of precious booze 
    /  
  But now I know that there's a time and there's a place where I can choose

      
  To walk the fine line between self control and self abuse 

  [During piano solo play intro] 

  CHORUS (as above) 
      
  Would you please ignore that you found me on the floor 
    
  trying on your camisole? 
         
  Oh, alchohol, would you please forgive me, for while I cannot love myself

     
  I'll use something else
