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.

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.
