He was only 25
[Am] [F] [Am] [Dm]
Had an open heart and tender mind
[Cm] [Bb] [Cm] [Bb]
He sang through all the hymns he knew
[Bb]
He was searching for a higher sign
[F] [Bb] [Gb]
When his water was turned to wine
[Bb] [Em] [F]
All the darkness became light
[Am]
Babies and a patient wife
[F] [Am] [Dm]
They just weren't enough to keep him high

Just to fill his cup

Every sip would make him feel alive

No bones in his body were dry

[F]
Now he's finally coming around
[Dm]
He's got wrinkles and a crooked frown
[F] [Cm] [Bb] [Cm]
He holds back tears thinking of the years

That the bottle had a long time, down

So he'd sit and have another round
[F] [Eb] [F]
Singing Hallelujah till he drowns
