Alcohol Of Fame

G                        D7                  G
I used to be a big man I owned most all this town

    C            G          A7              D7
And I was well respected by folks for miles around

G                           D7                        G
Then I turned to the bottle lost my home destroyed my name

   C                G                 D7         G
My drinking friends elected me to the Alcohol of Fame


D7                                   C                 G
Tonight there'll be no laughter when I tell them how I feel

D7                                   A7              D7
But a man must make his mark in life no matter how unreal

G                                   D7             G
For tonight I'll be rewarded for my failure and my shame

   C                G                 D7         G
My drinking friends elected me to the Alcohol of Fame


                                       D7                  G
Tonight I'll dress I'll go downtown to the barroom on skid row

   C                    G                A7                     D7
My friends will take me by the hand when I reach those swinging doors

G                               D7                  G
I'll be the guest of honor when they immortalize my name
