Lit on smoke and beer

And are ya livin' right within?

She said with fire like a gospel choir, a saint immune to sin

Old Irene

Like a ravin bomb

She's cuttin' every rug and killin' every jug she comes up on

Old Irene
G F
Never lackin' charm

Said I was feelin' good and in the neighborhood I mean no harm
[Verse 2]

Irene sat down for supper
C G F
Pourin' visine into her eyes

To see her tremblin' hand was to Understand some things you can't disguise

Pa said not for nothin'

But you don't seem to be quite well

Like a ravin bomb

Don't believe in pain

She said to live this life you need a half a pint to keep you sane
[Verse 3]
C G F
Irene said but I ain't happy
C G F
Sometimes I wake up feelin' dead
C G F Am G F
And if the sun should shine I close my blinds, pretend there's rain instead
C G F
Took down all my mirrors
C G F
I gave away all my rope and guns
C G F Am G F
Drown the darkest times with some rotgut wine, and my faithful MASH reruns
[Chorus]
C
Old Irene
G F
Like a ravin bomb
C G F G
She's cuttin' every rug and killin' every jug that she comes up on
C
Old Irene
G F
Said it's sad but true
C G F
In spite of all it brings it's the only thing that gets me through
G C G F
You know it gets me through
C G F
You know it gets me through
C G F
You know it gets me through
C G F
It gets me through
