The Only One Drinking Tonight

!![as heard on Doug Stanhope's Podcast- http://www.dougstanhope.com/mypodcast/ ]!!

{Ultimate-guitar kind of messes up the chords-to-lyric distribution, not that this 
transcription is perfect by any means, but if you want to see what I actually typed out, get

Drop D

Intro riff on G&B strings back&forth on the 5th&7th frets

A               G
Pass me the lampshade
D               G D
I'm drunk again
A               G
Blew my drug money
D               G D
on a quart of gin
A               G
Well I am a cultured man
D               G D
with tastes, discriminating
A               G
But I'll settle for a tall glass
D
of anything

[Riff on A G D G D]

Fell in love with love
and  death and darkness
If I'm a bad drunk, well
it's not for lack of practice
There is no, this is no
modern romance
Cause I'm goin' home
in a fuckin' ambulance

F#              E
Well, am I the only one drinkin'
D       E D
tonight?
F#              E
The only one drinkin'
D       E D
tonight?
E               G
Spring break gon'n broke
F#
its sprung
E               G      D
Now I'm the only one

[Riff on A G D G D]

 A              G
Mirror and medicine cabinet door
D               G D
Like the hatch of a submarine
A               G
Bottles inside like buttons and dials
D               G D
and tiny back-lit screens
A               G
Bloody footprints on the
D
bathroom floor
A               G
In a hotel close to the airport

F#              E
Well am I the only one drinkin'
D       E D
tonight?
F#              E
The only one drinkin'
D       E D
tonight
E               G
Despair's an octopus
F#
with its head in New Hampshire
E               G              D
and tentacles everywhere
F#              E
Well am I the only one drinkin'
D       E D
tonight?
F#              E              D
The only one drinkin' tonight? X2
