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[Bb]People not backing [C#]ideals out of date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