[A] [Em]
[E] I don't have a back porch and [B] I don't have a rocking chair
Got [F#m] a dirty old [A] coat and a shaky [D] hand and a face like a [E] grizzly bear
I'm an old wine-o and I scare all the [G] ladies, yes [B] you might say I'm a bum
[F#m] But I'm sure wired [A] up to the honky [G] red and a good gold anchor [E] rum
[Bm] When I need a [A] drink I'm stings on a [G] sink, I'm pleased and thank [E] you ma'am
[B] But when I got a [A] head full of honky [G] red I don't give a good [E] god damn
Well I fought in your wars, now I sleep in your [C] doors and I left my leg in [F#] France
[F#m] And all that [A] remains is a ghostly [G] pain when the mornings get too [E] damn
I was born in the sticks and I got great [B] six so I ain't much in demand
[F#] I [F#m] deliver hand [A] pills and I steal red [G] pills for the boys in the [E] whorehouse band
[B] When I need a [A] drink I'm stings on a [G] sink, I'm pleased and [E] thank you ma'am

But [Bm] when I got a head [A] full of honky [G] red I don't give a good [E] god damn
Yes I got me a girl that I see [Em] sometimes [B] she damn [F#] near half a ton
[F#m] In a furnished [A] room in the Joyceville [G] pen I got me an old [E] good son
But he'll keep me a head full of honky red [B] until the reaper tolls the bell
If [F#m] I'm as high when I die [A] as I was when I [G] lived I'll be in heaven as sure as [E] hell
[B] When I need a drink [A] I'm stings on a [G] sink, I'm pleased and [E] thank you ma'am
[B] But when I got a head [A] full of honky [G] red I don't give a good [E] god damn
