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stubborn and defiant through it all Ab F Vet you'll rattle, bemoan and berate Bb C# People not backing ideals out of date Ab F What he doesn't realize (What he doesn’t realize.)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