Yeah, 
Am7 (x02010@1)  G (320003@1)   D (xx0232@1)    Am7 (x02010@1)   Em (022000@1)Living in my rented room, I sharply had a fall 

Am7 (x02010@1)  G (320003@1)    D (xx0232@1)  Am7 (x02010@1)  Em (022000@1)I fell into a bottle, and no-one heard my call 
And my father said, 
Am7 (x02010@1)     G (320003@1)        D (xx0232@1)       Am7 (x02010@1)          Em"Why (022000@1)do you think that you stumbled into this bottle that you fell?", 
And I says 
Am7 (x02010@1)     G (320003@1)             D (xx0232@1)  Am7 (x02010@1)       Em (022000@1)"Father I think I lost my balance throwing pennies in the holy well".

             C (x32010@1)       G (320003@1)                         Bm (x24432@1)   EmWell (022000@1)you can whine and you can pray, but its up to you to say no way  

Verse: 
   Am7G        D (xx0232@1)       Am7 (x02010@1)         Em (022000@1)I came across a friend of mine who had, plunged and sank deep down 
      Am7 (x02010@1)    G (320003@1)  D (xx0232@1)    Am7 (x02010@1)           Em (022000@1)And I wondered if I knew him, because his mind had turned around 
      Am7 (x02010@1)    G (320003@1)        D (xx0232@1)       Am7 (x02010@1)         EmSo (022000@1)I sat for a while with this stranger, he was a shell of what he'd once been 
      Am7 (x02010@1)      G (320003@1)      D (xx0232@1) Am7 (x02010@1)          EmAnd (022000@1)I thought of all the alcohol and all the pain and greed that i've seen 

Chorus:
