I Gotta Get Drunk

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, 
     E                    A 
and wind up singin' the blues. 
                G                D 
I've spent my whole paycheck on some old wreck, 
                               A 
and brother, I can name you a few.

2. 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, 
           E                             A 
    and I wouldn't think of lettin' 'em down. 
      G 
    There's a lot of doctors that tell me, 
              D                          A 
    that I'd better start to slowin' it down. 
                 D                          G 
    But there's more old drunks than there are old doctors, 
          D                 A            D 
    so I guess we'd better have another round.
