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 D G D A D 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. Refrain 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.
