Start Jamming...
[D] Well, I gotta get drunk and I sure do dread it, cause [G] I know just [D] what I'm gonna do.
I start to spend my money calling everybody [E] honey and wind up [A] singing the blues.
I'll spend [G] my whole paycheck [D] on some old wreck, brother I can [A] name you a few.
[D] Well, I gotta get drunk and I [G] sure do [D] dread it, cause I know just what I'm gonna do.
I gotta get drunk, I can't stay sober, there's [G] a lot of good [D] people in town.
That like to hear me holler, see me spend my [E] dollars and I wouldn't think of [A] letting them down.
[G] There's a lot of doctors that tell me [D] that I better start [A] slowing it down.
[D] But there's more old [G] drunks than there are old doctors, [D] so I guess we better have another round.
Well, now I gotta get drunk and I sure do [G] dread it, cause I know just [D] what I'm gonna do.
I start to spend my money calling everybody honey [E] and wind up [A] singing the blues.
[G] I'll spend my whole paycheck [D] on some old wreck, brother I can [A] name you a few.
[D] Well, I gotta get drunk [G] and I sure do dread [D] it, cause I know just what I'm gonna do.
