Stagger by Street Dogs
Stagger
G#
He's just a drunk
C# G#
Yer an old salty dog
G# F
Stagger, you drink and then fall
Bb C#
Unaware that your life is held up against the wall
G# F
Aching, just dying inside
Bb C#
Still you cling on tight to your obstinate pride
G# F Bb C# (x3)
F#
Lets Gooo
G# F Bb C#
I knew a man at the end of the bar
G# F Bb C#
Wore a look of erosion, some old battle scars
G# F Bb C#
Told many stories, none of them bright
Bb C#
If you bought him liberations, he spun them all night
G# F Bb C#
Started out in Normandy, moved right onto France
G# F Bb C#
The battle of Berlin and more veteran partance
G# F Bb C#
At the end this generation, not like the last
Bb C#
Kids today need to learn from the past
[Chorus]
G# F
Stagger, you drink and then fall
Bb G#
Unaware that your life is held up against the wall
G# F
Aching, just dying inside
Bb G#
Still you cling on tight to your obstinate pride
G# F Bb C#
Getting to loud barkeeper gives the hook
G# F Bb C#
All the patrons laugh so hard the dive nearly shook
G# F Bb C#
Into the alley he goes furious and irate
Bb C#
Expletives and threats babbled in hate
G# F Bb C#
Finally he collapses down to the asphalt
G# F Bb C#
Battered mug and lacerations, it's his fault
G# F Bb C#
Bystanders tap numbers for the ambulance call
Bb C#
Salty dog going for an E.R. haul
[Chorus]
G# F
Salt you stagger away and then fall
Bb C#
Continuously stubborn and defiant through it all
G# F
Vet you'll rattle, bemoan and berate
Bb C#
People not backing ideals out of date
G# F
What he doesn't realize (What he doesn’t realize.)
C# C Bb
Is he's the enemy of him (He’s the enemy of him)
G# F
What he can't see (What he doesn’t realize.)
C# C Bb
Is he's stuck in yesterday (He’s the enemy of him)
G# F
Battle EMT's, they try to help him
Bb C#
Inside self imposed defiance, he'd rather swim
G# F# Bb C# C(x3) Bb(x3)
Inside of him, a crazy death wish
[Chorus]
G# F#
I knew a man at the end of the bar
Bb C#
With a VFW jacket and some old battle scars
G# F#
Did you hear the news?
Bb C# (x6) G#
Stagger's wish came true
