[D]
I work all day like a dog just [G] to make a dime.
[A] Uncle Sam doesn't take, he sends to my two [D] ex-wives.
All that I need is a small bag of weed [G] and a friend.
[D]
[A] A place we can go where the beer is ice cold,
and the women don't care where [D] you've been.
Cause I've been through hell, I've been locked up [G] in jail,
left out in [A] the cold.
I've been drunk, [Am] I've [D] been stoned,
going out of my mind, one night stand [G] at a time.
[C] [A] I need a lady to hold me as long as she leaves in the morning.
Cause I won't be changing her name for the way that [D] I am.
This whiskey bottle in my hand is [G] going dry.
[Gm] [G]
[A] There ain't enough whiskey in this bottle to get her off [D] my mind.
No harm to blame for living on some old [G] bar stool.
I [A] ain't a good girl in this world,
telling foot up where the crazy [C] things [D] I do.
Cause I've been through hell, I've been locked up [G] in jail,
left out in [A] the cold.
I've been drunk, [Am] I've [D] been stoned,
going out of my mind, [Dm]
[D] one night stand [G] at a time.
[A] I need a lady to hold me as long as she leaves in the morning.
[Am] [A] Cause I won't be changing her name for the way [D] that I am.

Cause I won't be changing her name for the way that [D] I am.
