	        I: 

              G             B7 
Last night we had a date, I stayed out late 
  C                  G 
I bought round after round 
    A7 
And just for you I played the fool 
     D7 
Yes, I was quite the clown 
G                  B7 
Words were spoken, hearts were broken 
    C              G 
But now I hope you see 
           G       D            G 
It was the whiskey talkin', not me 

II: 

  G              B7 
I didn't mean to make a scene 
     C             G 
It's really not my style 
  A7 
I raised some Cain and called some names 
          D7 
I guess I got myself a little wild 
     G                 B7 
If I brag too loud and act too proud 
      C               G 
Don't blame old Jerry Lee 
           G   B7  D            G 
It was the whiskey talkin', not me 

Bridge: 

  B 
I had myself a little splash 
  Em                     
I said 'You no good piece of trash' 
A 
Shut my mouth all through the night 
   D 
Oh Lord, my bark's bigger than my bite 
   G                  B7 
If lies were told, if I was bold 
      C              G 
Don't take it personally 
           G        D            G 
It was the whiskey talkin', not me 
B 
At the bar I bucked and roared 
  Em 
I picked a fight and I got floored 
  A7 
I had a shot, got plumb insane 
     D7 
Took everybody's name in va in 
    G                 B7 
But all that stuff is just a bluff 
  C               G 
I wouldn't hurt a flea 
           G   B7      D        G 
It was the whiskey talkin', not me 

III: 

G                      B7 
The old devil makes me do some things 
   C              G 
It takes a lot of nerve 
    A7 
How could I sass a girl like you 
       D 
You're more than I deserve 
          G             B7 
Don't you get upset and please accept 
    C             G 
Old Killer's apology 
           G     B7 D           G 
It was the whiskey talkin', not me 

Bridge: 

B 
End up with some more moonshine 
   Em 
My mouth was workin' overtime 
A7 
Just let off a little steam 
  D7 
I ain't the Killer that I seem 
    G                     B7 
Sometimes I'm strange but I might change 
    C            G  
You got my guarantee 
           G    B7        D     G 
It was the whiskey talkin', not me 
             G      B7       D     G 
Yes that old whiskey talkin', not me
