Intro: D G D A D
Verse
D
Well, I gotta get drunk and I sure do dread it,
G D
'cause I know just what I'm gonna do.
I start to spend my money, callin' everybody honey,
E7 A7
and wind up singin' the blues.
G D
I've spent my whole paycheck on some old wreck,
A7
and brother, I can name you a few.
D7 G
Well, I gotta get drunk and I sure do dread it,
D A D
'cause I know just what I'm gonna do.
Refrain

Verse
D
I gotta get drunk, I can't stay sober,
G D
there's a lot of good people in town,
who'd like to hear me holler, see me spend my dollars,
E7 A7
and I wouldn't think of lettin' 'em down.
G
There's a lot of doctors that tell me,
D A7
that I'd better start to slowin' it down.
D7 G
But there's more old drunks than there are old doctors,
D A D
so I guess we'd better have another round.
