David Allan Coe – Drank My Wife Away (Guitar)

D                                G
Lately I been drinkin' too much whiskey

D                              A
I been gettin' drunk now every day

D                             G
I can't sober up, to face the heartache

D              A             D
Knowin' that I drank my wife away

D                                 G
She told me to stop drinkin', or she'd leave me

D                                   A
I never heard one word she tried to say

D                                   G
Instead of holdin' her, I held the bottle

D               A             D
Until I finally drank my wife away

G                             D
Just pour me a double shot of whiskey

                                    A
I'll be here till I drink up all my pay

    D N.C.                                G
Between Jim Beam, George Dickel, and Jack Daniel's

D                           A             D
I guess(think) I'll finally drank my wife away.

D                               G
I been tryin' hard to drown my sorrow

D                            A
Ever since that woman went astray

D                                         G
And the jukebox knows that I'm bound and determined

D                A             D
To do my best to drank my wife away.

D                                     G
Please don't cut me off, or I'll go crazy

D                               A
I've lost everything except my mind

D                                 G
Now I'll give my car keys to the barmaid

D                         A       D
You can call me a cab at closin' time.

D                  A             D
I think I finally drank my wife away
