D                     D7
Well, I gotta get drunk and I sure do dread it
        G                        D
cause I know just what I'm gonna do
              D
I'll start to spend my money callin' everybody honey
    E7                    A7
and wind up singin' the blues
              G                 D
I'll spend my whole paycheck on some old wreck
    D                          A7
And brother I could name you a few
        D          D7          G
Well, I gotta get drunk and I sure do dread it
        D         A7             D
cause I know just what I'm gonna do

[Verse 2]
  D                  D7
I gotta get drunk, I can't stay sober
          G                     D
There's a lot of good people in town
              D
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 slowing it down
            D         D7                   G
But there's more old drunks than there are old doctors
     D                 A7            D
So I guess we'd better have another round

[Verse 1]
            D                     D7
Well now, I gotta get drunk and I sure do dread it
        G                        D
cause I know just what I'm gonna do
              D
I'll start to spend my money callin' everybody honey
    E7                    A7
and wind up singin' the blues
              G                  D
I'll spend my whole paycheck on some old wreck
    D                          A7
And brother I could name you a few
        D          D7          G
Well, I gotta get drunk and I sure do dread it
        D         A7             D
cause I know just what I'm gonna do
