Capo 2
G Bm
I saw the ole man shuffle down the street
C Am
His rotten shoes were tied around his feet
G G/F# Em G
I saw him stagger just before he fell
C D/F# G
And heard him mention something about hell
G G7
Lord, you know it's raining in my mind
C Am
But you can turn the water into wine
G G/F# Em D
Please, just give me one more second chance
C D G
Play me something you know I can dance.
Chorus:
C
Lord, help me make this day, don't call me home
G
I swear I'll make tomorrow on my own
G G/F# Em D
Lord, send me just a half a pint to let me know you care
C D G
Or this ole wino just won't have a prayer
(Spoken)
G
I was passing by the other day
C Am
Heard the old man finally passed away
(Sang)
G G/F# Em D
Someone said it got him in his prime
C D G
'Cause he still had a half a pint of wine
(Spoken)
Then I heard him say.
Chorus
Tag:
Oh, this ole wino just won't have a prayer.
(Oh, how sweet the sound...)
