C                           F
He only stops in sometimes, he only has one beer
  G                                  F     G       C
I remember when he used to spend his every evening here
                                                      F
Now when he gets up to go home he acts just like he's glad
          G7                           F      G  C
Well it's not a very pretty sight when drunks go bad

[Chorus]
C                        F               C
When drunks go bad, it reflects upon us all
         Am              F             C                G7
When you sit beneath the neon beer sign flashing on the wall
               Am          F         G     Am C Em Fm
When drunks go bad, it’s a low down cryin' shame
     C                             G7           C
When he discovered virtue, he gave vice a dirty name

[Verse]
C                                         F
He used to buy them wicky wacky balls for blondes in short tight skirts
       G                               F       G       C
And at closing time he’d smuggle out a six pack in his shirt
                                                          F
What he did not know about cheating wouldn’t fill a Dixie cup
     G7                                    F       G         C
Over pink champagne in some cheap hotel he whispers "bottoms up"

[Chorus]
C                        F               C
When drunks go bad, it reflects upon us all
         Am           F                C                  G7
When we listen to our urge to sin, and sometimes heed the call
               Am          F         G     Am C Em Fm
When drunks go bad, it’s a low down cryin' shame
     C                             G7           C
When he discovered virtue, he gave vice a dirty name

[Verse]
D                               G
Now he's gone back to his wife, begun the social climb
   A7                             G          A      D
He asks about us when he stops in here from time to time
                                                      G
The Pagan saints of wine and lust no longer drive him mad
        A7                                G      A  D
All the girls and I still wonder why some drunks go bad

[Chorus]
D                        G              D
When drunks go bad, it reflects upon us all
         Bm              G               D                A7
While we shuffle on the dance floor underneath the mirror ball
               Bm          G         A     Bm D F#m Bm
When drunks go bad, it’s a low down cryin' shame
     D                             A7           D
When he discovered virtue, he gave vice a dirty name
     D                             A7           D
When he discovered virtue, he gave vice a dirty name
