Corb Lund – Old Familiar Drunken Feeling (Guitar)

     C                                          F          C
Well me and the boys, we was playin' a show down Colorado way

         D7                  G
Well we thought we'd investigate

           F
Cuz there ain't nuthin' better than a little adventure

         C        Em     Am
Just to shore up band morale

    D    N.C.
At least till the singer does a few too many milligrams

    G                      G
Of mis-adventurin' somehow

         C
We were met with a kid, born for his job

        F                 C
Highly skilled and desirable

                                           D7             G
Who up till now the world had found to be totally unhireable

             F
He knew the strengths and the names

                                 C       E     Am
Every hybrid strain that modern science has allowed

             D                     N.C.
He said you don't have to toke it, you don't even gotta smoke it

          G   N.C.                 G
Cuz they make it for ya edible now

             C
I want that old familiar drunken feelin'

Em
  Washing over me this evening

F                                C     G
I wanna be embraced like an old friend

C
 Heart is racin', mind is reelin'

    Em
That  old familiar drunken feelin'

F                 G                 C
 Something I can count on till the end

G           C
 It's only noon, I'll be fine, showtime ain't till nine

   F                   C
I chewed and I told myself

        D7              G
It all went rapidly to hell

            F
Well I was high as a kite and it was freezin' outside

       C            G/B    Am
I was terrified of people, too

         D7
Between shiverin' in the van and hidin' in the can

           G                      G
Cuz there wasn't any dressing room

 C                                            F            C
Playin' a gig was the very last thing that I wanted on my mind

                                                 D7           G
The best advice that I got all night's when old Skinner did opine

         F
He said don't try to fight it, yeah, you're just gonna have to try

    C             G/B    Am
To ride the rank bastard out

          D7  N.C.
So, with that bit of wisdom and herbal terrorism

    G   N.C.               G
On stage I was freakin' out

             C
I want that old familiar drunken feelin'

Em
  Washing over me this evening

F                                C     G
I wanna be embraced like an old friend

C
 Heart is racin', mind is reelin'

    Em
That  old familiar drunken feelin'

F                 G                 C
 Something I can count on till the end

   C
I steeled myself I said, 'what the hell?'

        F                        C
And proceeded to forget all the lines

         D7            G
Western hats and neon signs

          F
So, in a desperate position

          C               G/B   Am
That I'd handle this the cowboy way

             D7  N.C.
Which is to pour enough whiskey on the problem

                    G   N.C.            G
Till it catches on fire or it goes away

    C
To shot after shot, just like I was taught

              F               C
Supressed my feelings by all means

        D7                  G
A mess fairly well known to me

              F
So, when the second set came

                                  C        G/B  Am
I was back on my game and here's what I'd recommend

        D7   N.C.
If you think you're gonna die

      G    N.C.
Just drown it all in Pendleton

G            C
I want that old familiar drunken feelin'

Em
  Washing over me this evening

F                                 C     G
 I wanna be embraced like an old friend

C
 Heart is racin', mind is reelin'

    Em
That  old familiar drunken feelin'

F                 G                 C   G C
 Something I can count on till the end
