1. Tell my mama and tell my pa
        Gmi                  B          Dmi
   That their fine young son didn't get far
   F                 C        Dmi
   He made it to the end of a bottle
   Gmi                 B   Dmi
   Sitting in a sleazy bar 
   
   He tried hard but his spirit broke
   He tried until he nearly choked
   In the end he lost his ball
   Bottle drinking alcohol 

R: I've got to give it up...

2. Tell my brother I tried to write and
   Put pen to paper but I was frightened
   I couldn't seem to get the words out right
   Right quite right
   
   Tell my sister I'm sinking slow
   Now and again I powder my nose
   In the end I lost my bottle
   It smashed in a casbah

R: I've got to give it up...

R: I've got to give it up ..

3. I've been messing with the heavy stuff
   For a time I couldn't get enough
   But I'm waking up and it's wearing off
   Junk don't take you far
   
   Tell my Mama I'm coming home
   In my youth I'm getting older
   And I think it's lost control
   Mama I'm coming home

R: I've got to give it up...
