Chords with lyrics
This is a song that's going to be on Chris' upcoming album.
I know these chords are 100% accurate since Chris graciously took the time to tell me how he plays it.
He also said that he originally wrote it with a capo on the 1st fret, but lately has been playing it open.
Have fun with it, and definitely youtube the song to catch the "eeh's" and "mmm's" during the verses:
The "Am" chord in the song isn't properly named, neither Chris nor myself know what the actual chord is:
e-0-
B-1-
G-0-
D-2-
A-0-
E-x-
When he plays the B7, the F#F# note that's on the e string isn't really heard, or it sounds like he leaves that
string open.
G+G B7B7
If it weren't for drunk women, my hair would be black
C majorC A minorAm
My tank would be full in my third Cadillac
G+G B7B7 C majorC A minorAm
And every girl would swoon over me
G+G D MajorD G+G
Yeah, if it weren't for drunk women, I'd be livin' the dream
If it weren't for drunk women, I'd never be sad
Get angry or jealous, just from watchin' you dance
I'd walk to the floor, so cool, and take your hand
Yeah, if it weren't for drunk women, I'd act like a man
C majorC
Blame the ones that came before you
B7B7
Darlin', you know I adore you
C majorC G+G G7G7
But I'd be insane to try to play this game again
C majorC
So have a ball and have your fun
B7B7
I gave it all for half your love
C majorC G+G
I've said my piece and done everything I can
D MajorD G+G
If it weren't for drunk women maybe you'd understand
If it weren't for drunk women, I'd sleep like a stone
Not stay up and worry 'bout how you're getting home
Who's payin' your tab and who's movin' up your thigh
Yeah if it weren't for drunk women, I'd trust you tonight
If it weren't for drunk women, my heart wouldn't break
So easily crack, so needlessly take
I'd show you a love like you've never seen
Yeah if it weren't for drunk women, I'd have me a queen
Blame the ones that came before you
Darlin', you know that I adore you
But I'd be insane to try to play this game again
So have a ball and have your fun
I gave it all for half your love
I've said my piece and done everything I can
If it weren't for drunk women maybe you'd understand
D MajorD B7B7
I'm old enough now to know that your worth
C majorC
Has got nothin' to do with the length of your skirt
G+G G7G7
The waves in your hair or the smoke in your eyes
C majorC B7B7
And if you knew it too, if you saw what I see
The beauty that lies and hides underneath
C majorC G+G
You'd never give it all away
G+G D MajorD G+G
If it weren't for drunk women, I'd ask you to stay
Blame the ones that came before you
Darlin', you know that I adore you
But I'd be insane to try to play this game again
So have a ball and have your fun
I gave it all for half your love
I've said my piece and done everything I can
If it weren't for drunk women maybe you'd understand
If it weren't for drunk women, I'd wear me a ring
Have three or four children, with similar names
I'd sing 'em to sleep and love you all night long
If it weren't for drunk women, I wouldn't be gone
End on G+G
