Verse:
Well I poured myself from this lonely bottle
My clown shoes got hung in the neck
And I dangled there in amazement like a man who can't pay the check
Tried to trace my staggering footsteps As they wander side-by-side
And I'm walking along to the melody the wino's lullaby
Wino's luuuullaby, wino's luuuullaby,
Wino's luuuullaby, oh oho oh
Fmaj7 - C - Am - Fmaj7 - Fmaj7 - C - G/C - [P]
The path I follow, it wanders Through laughter and liquor and song
The beautiful shows, the highs and lows The time always seems too low
The boys and girls are all falling in love And soaring to dizzying heights
The breakdowns, the shakedowns, The setups and knockdowns
Early morning under the lights
Music is my lover My killer and my surprise
I'm playing along to the melody the wino's lullaby
Wino's luuuullaby, wino's luuuullaby,
Wino's luuuullaby, oh oho oh
Fmaj7 - C - Am - Fmaj7 - Fmaj7 - C - G/C - [P]
Well I drag myself from the madness And follow my heart back home
This woman's she's been waiting And feeling awfully alone
We suffer here in the silence As she is starting to cry
I'm falling asleep to the melody the wino's lullaby
Wino's luuuullaby, wino's luuuullaby,
Wino's luuuullaby, Wino's luuuullaby,
oh oho oh
