🥃 Intro:

C majorC


🥃 Verse:
   C majorC                     FF     C majorC
Well me and the boys, we was playin' a show down Colorado way

And when we realized they had legalized
     D7D7         G+G
Well we thought we'd investigate

      FF
Cuz there ain't nuthin' better than a little adventure
     C majorC    E minorEm   A minorAm
Just to shore up band morale
  D MajorD  N.C.
At least till the singer does a few too many milligrams
  G+G           G+G
Of mis-adventurin' somehow

🥃 Verse:
     C majorC
We were met with a kid, born for his job
    FF         C majorC
Highly skilled and desirable
                      D7D7       G+G
Who up till now the world had found to be totally unhireable

       FF
He knew the strengths and the names
                 C majorC    E MajorE   A minorAm
Every hybrid strain that modern science has allowed
       D MajorD           N.C.
He said you don't have to take it, you don't even gotta smoke it
     G+G  N.C.         G+G
Cuz they make it for ya edible now


🥃 Chorus:
       C majorC
I want that old familiar drunken feelin'
E minorEm
 Washing over me this evening
FF                C majorC   G+G
I wanna be embraced like an old friend

C majorC
 Heart is racin', mind is reelin'
  E minorEm
That old familiar drunken feelin'
FF         G+G         C majorC
 Something I can count on till the end

🥃 Verse:
G+G      C majorC
 It's only noon, I'll be fine, showtime ain't till nine
  FF          C majorC
I chewed and I told myself

But as the day wore on and on and on
    D7D7       G+G
It all went rapidly to hell

      FF
Well I was high as a kite and it was freezin' outside
    C majorC      G/BG/B  A minorAm
I was terrified of people, too
     D7D7
Between shiverin' in the van and hidin' in the can
      G+G           G+G
Cuz there wasn't any dressing room


🥃 Verse:
 C majorC                      FF      C majorC
Playin' a gig was the very last thing that I wanted on my mind
                         D7D7      G+G
The best advice that I got all night's when old Skinner did opine

     FF
He said don't try to fight it, yeah, you're just gonna have to try
  C majorC       G/BG/B  A minorAm
To ride the rank bastard out

     D7D7 N.C.
So, with that bit of wisdom and herbal terrorism
  G+G  N.C.        G+G
On stage I was freakin' out


🥃 Chorus:
       C majorC
I want that old familiar drunken feelin'
E minorEm
 Washing over me this evening
FF                C majorC   G+G
I wanna be embraced like an old friend

C majorC
 Heart is racin', mind is reelin'
  E minorEm
That old familiar drunken feelin'
FF         G+G         C majorC
 Something I can count on till the end


🥃 Verse:
  C majorC
I steeled myself I said, 'what the hell '
    FF            C majorC
And proceeded to forget all the lines

It was endless and seemed like a fever dream
     D7D7      G+G
Western hats and neon signs

     FF
So, in a desperate position

Made the desperate decision
     C majorC        G/BG/B  A minorAm
That I'd handle this the cowboy way

       D7D7 N.C.
Which is to pour enough whiskey on the problem
          G+G  N.C.      G+G
Till it catches on fire or it goes away


🥃 Verse:
  C majorC
To shot after shot, just like I was taught
       FF        C majorC
Supressed my feelings by all means

It was a mess I guess, but nonetheless
    D7D7         G+G
A augmentedA mess fairly well known to me

       FF
So, when the second set came
                 C majorC    G/BG/B A minorAm
I was back on my game and here's what I'd recommend

    D7D7  N.C.
If you think you're gonna die

Cuz you're way too freakin' high
   G+G  N.C.
Just drown it all in Pendleton


🥃 Chorus:
G+G      C majorC
I want that old familiar drunken feelin'
E minorEm
 Washing over me this evening
FF                 C majorC   G+G
 I wanna be embraced like an old friend

C majorC
 Heart is racin', mind is reelin'
  E minorEm
That old familiar drunken feelin'
FF         G+G         C majorC  G+G C majorC
 Something I can count on till the end
