Mishka Shubaly

The Only One Drinking Tonight

by Mishka Shubaly
Mishka Shubaly

Biography:

After receiving an expensive MFA in Fiction from Columbia University, Mishka Shubaly promptly realized he was more interested in playing music in dive bars than writing. He lived out of a Toyota minivan for a year, touring nonstop, and has shared the stage with artists like The Strokes, The Yeah Yeah Yeahs and The Decemberists among others. “Bad Dreams,” a narrative published in NYPress about his romance with an opiate marked his return to writing.

!![as heard on Doug Stanhope's Podcast- http://www.dougstanhope.com/mypodcast/ ]!!

{Ultimate-guitar kind of messes up the chords-to-lyric distribution, not that this
transcription is perfect by any means, but if you want to see what I actually typed out, get

Drop D

Intro riff on G&B strings back&forth on the 5th&7th frets

A G
Pass me the lampshade
D G D
I'm drunk again
A G
Blew my drug money
D G D
on a quart of gin
A G
Well I am a cultured man
D G D
with tastes, discriminating
A G
But I'll settle for a tall glass
D
of anything

[Riff on A G D G D]

Fell in love with love
and death and darkness
If I'm a bad drunk, well
it's not for lack of practice
There is no, this is no
modern romance
Cause I'm goin' home
in a fuckin' ambulance

F# E
Well, am I the only one drinkin'
D E D
tonight?
F# E
The only one drinkin'
D E D
tonight?
E G
Spring break gon'n broke
F#
its sprung
E G D
Now I'm the only one

[Riff on A G D G D]

A G
Mirror and medicine cabinet door
D G D
Like the hatch of a submarine
A G
Bottles inside like buttons and dials
D G D
and tiny back-lit screens
A G
Bloody footprints on the
D
bathroom floor
A G
In a hotel close to the airport

F# E
Well am I the only one drinkin'
D E D
tonight?
F# E
The only one drinkin'
D E D
tonight
E G
Despair's an octopus
F#
with its head in New Hampshire
E G D
and tentacles everywhere
F# E
Well am I the only one drinkin'
D E D
tonight?
F# E D
The only one drinkin' tonight? X2
