Intro:  A chord -- When you first strum the A, the strings should be open.  Immediately hammer
                   down the A fingerings after the initial attack.  Do this throughout the song on A
                   and also on D.  Listen to the recording, you'll get the idea.

A                                  D
Sipping whiskey from a paper cup, You drown your sorrows till you can't stand up,
A                                                            E
Take a look at what you've done to yourself, Why don't you, you put the bottle back on the shelf,
A                                     D
Yellow fingered from your cigarettes, Your hands are shaking while your body sweats,
A                        E                 D
Why don't you look into Jesus, He got the answer.

A                                     D  
Gonorrhea on Valentine's Day (v.d.), And you're still looking for the perfect lay,
A                                                 E
You think rock and roll will set you free honey, You'll be dead before you're thirty three,
A                                      D
Shooting junk till you're half insane, Broken needle in your purple vein,
A                        E                 D    
Why don't you look into Jesus, He got the answer.

E
You work all night, Sleep all day,

You take your money, Throw it all away,
D
You say you're gonna be a super star, 
             G                               A
But you've never hung around enough to find out who you really are.

A                                     D
Think back to when you were a child, Your soul was free and your heart ran wild,
A                                            E       
Each day was different and life was a thrill, You knew tomorrow would be better still,
A                                              D  
But things have changed you're much older now, If you're unhappy and you don't know how,
A                        E                 D
Why don't you look into Jesus, He got the answer.    (Repeat 5 times)
