One Is One Too Many (And A Thousand Not Enough)
Carroll Baker
Intro: G-C
C G
He was just the average kind a guy you find hanging around the bar
C
By the way he listen to our band, I knew he played guitar
F
So when the show was over I just had to talk to him
G C
Shook his hand said how you doing he just answered with a grin
C G
He said can I buy you something, I said no thanks I don't drink
C
Then strangest look came across his face and he looked at me and winked
F
I joined AA just last year it's been mighty rough
G C
One drink is one too many and a thousand not enough
C G
I said why come to place like this you must be living in pure hell
C
He said I played guitar some years ago and they say I played it well
F
Music was my only love but I had to give it up
G C-----A
One drink is one too many and a thousand not enough
D A
So I gave him my guitar said won't you please play me a song
D
Shook his head said I just couldn't I haven't played one in so long
G
So I coached him just a little more and he finely gave up
A D
Sang a song that one is one too many and a thousand not enough
D G D
So now I understand it as he plays and sings his song
E A
And I know it's through the grace of God he's found where he belongs
D G
I know that he was drowning once, but for the last time he came up
A D
He said one is one too many and a thousand not enough
A D
Yes he said one is one too many and a thousand not enough
