D MajorD
Well, I gotta get drunk and I sure do dread it,
G+G D MajorD
'cause I know just what I'm gonna do.
I start to spend my money, callin' everybody honey,
E7E7 A7A7
and wind up singin' the blues.
G+G D MajorD
I've spent my whole paycheck on some old wreck,
A7A7
and brother, I can name you a few.

D MajorD
I gotta get drunk, I can't stay sober,
G+G D MajorD
there's a lot of good people in town,
who'd like to hear me holler, see me spend my dollars,
E7E7 A7A7
and I wouldn't think of lettin' 'em down.
G+G
There's a lot of doctors that tell me,
D MajorD A7A7
that I'd better start to slowin' it down.
D7D7 G+G
But there's more old drunks than there are old doctors,
D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
so I guess we'd better have another round.
