Alcohol Tab

by Gogol Bordello


Tabs courtesy of Marcus Williams

The guitar part is mostly chords, but you can add some twiddles using the high strings –
think the high notes are played by a mandolin on the album.  The strumming is pretty
and you ought to be able to figure it out by hearing it once.  It switches between two 
     , and    .

      X 8

Aaaah! Ooooooooh

                                 
Yeah oh yeah you seen me walk
                
On burning bridges
                                 
Yeah oh yeah you seen me fall
                 
In love with witches
                                
And you know my head is held
             
Inside by stitches
                          
Yet you know I did survive
                           
All of your lovely sieges

                                       
And you know that I'll pick up
                          
Every time you call
                                            
Just to thank you one more time

G     Am (anytime Eugene sings the word “alcohol” in the song, it falls on these chords)
Alcohol
         
                  Alcohol
         
                  Alcohol

                                     
And you know that I'll survive
                          
Every time you come
                                            
Just to thank you one more time
For everything you've done

     
Aaaaaah!
Alcohol
Alcohol
Aaaaah!

I am sorry some of us
Given you bad name
yeah o yeah, cause without you
Nothing is the same
Yeah o yeah I miss you so
Every time we break up
Just to hit a higher note
Every time we make up

And you know that I'll pick up
Every time you call
Just to thank you one more time

Alcohol
Alcohol
Alcohol

So you know I will survive
Every time you come
Just to thank you one more time
For everything you've done
Aaaaaah!

Alcohol X 4

                                       
Who is crawlin' up my spine - alcohol
I was waiting long long time - alcohol
Now you teach me how to rhyme - alcohol
Just don't stab me in the back with a cortisol

Now forever reunite - alcohol
Now you teach me how to rhyme - alcohol
Screw a light bulb in my head - alcohol
may that ceremony be happy or sad

And you know that I'll pick up
Every time you call
Just to thank you one more time
For everything you've done

And you know that I'll pick up
Every time you call
Just to thank you one more tiiiiime

Alcohol
