C majorC G+G FF C majorC - (Humming) Verse 2: C majorC G+G FF C majorC When I'm good and drunken, can't nobody bring me down, C majorC C majorC FF G+G I like to drink my whiskey when nobody is around, C majorC C7C7 FF F minorFm I know my empty bottle is the only one that understands, C majorC G+G FF - G+G - C majorC When I'm drinkin whiskey, I forget the man I am. Instrumental: C majorC G+G FF C majorC -\ C majorC G+G FF C majorC - \ C majorC C7C7 FF F minorFm - (Humming Throughout) C majorC G+G FF G+G C majorC - / Verse 3: C majorC G+G FF C majorC When I'm drinkin whiskey my hands don't ever shake, C majorC G+G FF G+G When I'm drinkin whiskey I don't lay in bed awake, C majorC C7C7 FF F minorFm Cause when I got my bottle, I don't care if I'm alive, C majorC G+G FF - G+G - C majorC Cause when I'm drinkin whiskey, I ain't afraid to die, C majorC G+G FF - G+G - C majorC Cause when I'm drinkin whiskey, I ain't afraid to die. I have also put humming in over the instrumentals as in the original Rusty humms the tune during those parts, completely optional of coarse but just thought id mention it just in case people like me are trying to keep to the original. On the 2nd line of each verse the C majorC chord is played twice in a row, there are played differently when you pluck or strum i think the difference is simply that the first one is played making the lower strings E(low),A and D MajorD are played more prominently and on the second one the higher strings G,B and E(High) are played more prominent which originally made me think they were slightly different chords until i figured this out. I found it to be nice to play by plucking the chords, waiting, and then damping the strings before going to the next chord. During the intro i play each chord as i normally would and the pluck the two highest strings BB and E(High)
