  			                           A 
Take the rose bush from my hair 
A7                          D  
Shake loose all them little thorns 
                           E 
What?s the sprinkler doin? on 
                     A  
So damn early in the morn 
                 A 
Crawlin? home at 5AM 
                          D 
Lord the sidewalk sure is hard 
                          E 
I guess I drank too much again 
                         A 
Help me make it thru the yard 
 
 
Bridge: 
A7                           D 
I don?t know what?s right or left 
                      A 
I?m too drunk to even stand 
                        B 
Why the devil won?t you help me 
                                E 
Please take your foot off of my hand 
 
 
And put some coffee on the stove 
We?ll go try to find your car 
I can?t hack it all alone 
Help me make it thru the yard 
 
And get my lawyer on the phone 
Help me make it thru the yard
