OD LOVES A DRUNK- Richard Thompson  
 
F#m  
 F#m A E F#m  
Will there be any bartenders up there in Heaven?  
 D C#m A B  
Will the pubs never close, will the glass never drain?  
F#m A E F#m  
No more D.T.s and no shakes and norors  
 E D A B  
Very next morning you'll feel right as rain  
 
 G#m D#m G#m D#m  
Cos God loves a drunk, the lowest of men  
 E B C# D#  
Like thes in the street and the pigs in the pen  
 E F#m  
And a drunk's only trying to get free of hisy  
 E F#m  
And soar like an eagle high up there in Heaven  
 E F#m  
His shouts and his curses they're just hymns and praises  
 G#m F# E  
To kick start his mind now and then  
 G#m C# Em  
O God loves a drunk, raise up your glasses,n  
 
 
Does God really care your life in the suburbs  
A dull little life full of dull little things  
And bring up the babies to be just like daddy  
And maybe you'll be there when he gives out the wings  
 
But God loves a drunk, although he's al  
He wets in his pants and he falls off his stool  
He can't hear the insults and whispers Go by him  
As he leans in therway and he sings Sally Racket  
He can't feel thed rain beatn on hisy  
And soak through his clothes to the skin  
O God loves a drunk,e raise up your glasses,n  
 
Will there be any pen-pushers up there in Heaven?  
Does crawling and wage-slaving win you God's love  
I pity you worms with your semis and pensions  
If you think that'll get you to the kingdomve  
 
But God loves a drunk, although he's a clown  
You can't help but laugh as he gags and fallsn  
He't give a cuss what people think of him  
He screams at his demons alone in the darkness  
He's staying alive just one more pinttle  
Won't you throw him a few pennies, friend  
God loves a drunk, ever and ever,n
