Version 1

            T1: Matt Rusteika, , Barenaked Ladies, Alchohol, 01/09/99


  S1: I've seen a lot of people request this one all over the place, and
  it's already in the archive, but it's way off so I had to set things
  right. On the CD they use guitar capo 2, and it sounds better that way.
  During the verses and intro the B7, D7, and A7 are all bar chords., INTRO

  B7, D7, A7, A7-Bb7-B7, D7, A7 

  VERSE ONE 
  B7 D7 A7 A7-Bb7 
  Alchohol, my permanent accessory 
  B7 D7 A7 A7-Bb7 
  Alchohol, a party time necessity 
  B7 D7 A7 F#m7 
  Alchohol, alternative to feeling like yourself 
  D E A, E, A, E, 
  Oh, alchohol, I still drink to your health 

  CHORUS 
  A E F#m7 A7-Bb7-B7 D A E 
  I love you more than I did the week before I discovered alchohol 

  VERSE TWO 
  B7 D7 A7 A7-Bb7 
  Forget the cafe latte, screw the raspberry iced tea 
  B7 D7 A7 A7-Bb7 
  A Malibu and Coke for you, a G. and T. for me 
  B7 D7 A7 F#m7 
  Alchohol, your songs resolve like my life never will 
  D E A, E, A, E 
  When someone else is picking up the bill 

  CHORUS (as above) 
  F#m7 D E F#m7 
  Oh, alchohol, would you please forgive me? 
  D E F#m7 D E A, E 
  For while I cannot love myself, I'll use something else 

  BRIDGE 
  A A/G# A/G D/F# D A 
  I thought that alchohol was just for those with nothing else to do 
  A A/G# A/G Dm/F A 
  I thought that drinking just to get drunk was a waste of precious booze 
  A/G# A/G Dm/F A 
  But now I know that there's a time and there's a place where I can choose

  A/G# A/G D E 
  To walk the fine line between self control and self abuse 

  [During piano solo play intro] 

  CHORUS (as above) 
  E F#m7 B7 D7 
  Would you please ignore that you found me on the floor 
  A E 
  trying on your camisole? 
  F#m7 D E F#m7 D E F#m7 
  Oh, alchohol, would you please forgive me, for while I cannot love myself

  D E A9 
  I'll use something else
