Drive-By Truckers – The Fourth Night Of My Drinking (Guitar)

C                        Bb
On the first night of my drinking

Bb                   F
I was looking for my keys

C                    Bb
I was half blind and stinking

Bb                   F
And bloody at the knees

Eb                              Bb
I had a built-in fever and bright red cheeks

F                         C
My checks and balances up shit creek

Eb                              Bb
It was all in fun, I didn't hurt no one

F                       C
'Til I crawled back for more

Eb                              Bb
Then there was damage done, but I made it home

F                  C
And woke up on the floor

C                        Bb
On the second night of my drinking

Bb                   F
I was looking for my car

C                        Bb
And as luck would have it

Bb                                    F
I found it parked outside my favorite bar

Eb                              Bb
I had a leather, liver, and lipstick streaks

F                            C
Had a disposition of valleys and peaks

Eb                              Bb
It was a lot of fun 'til I shot my gun

F                         C
And the neighbors called the law

Eb                              Bb
They didn't take me in, but they let it sink in

F                  C
I was headed for a fall

             G
Headed for a fall

Eb                     Bb
The third night of my drinking

F                     C
I was yelling at your house

Eb
I had a stick in my hand and was convinced

Bb              F            C
Some man was in there hiding out

Eb                                            Bb
I had a foot on your door, you had me down on the floor

F                                 C
I woke up next morning and my jaw was sore

Eb                                            Bb       F  C
Then I was back at the bar, and I was wanting some more

Eb                                            Bb       F  C
Then I was back at the bar, and I was wanting some more

Eb                                            Bb
Then I was back at the bar, and I was wanting some more

F                         C
'Til they tried to cut me off

Eb                         Bb
On the fourth night of my drinking

F                  C
I had to go it all alone

Eb                         Bb
As my friends list was shrinking

F                  C
And I was sinking like a stone

Eb                               Bb
I had a steely eye, had a mouth full of grit

F                       C
My disposition had gone full tilt

Eb                               Bb              F  C
There was a taste in my mouth, I wasn't liking it

Eb                                            Bb            F  C
Guess, it will be through with me before I'm through with it

Eb                                            Bb            F  C
Guess, it will be through with me before I'm through with it

Eb                                            Bb            F  C
Guess, it will be through with me before I'm through with it
