As recorded by George Jones (From the 1960 Album GEORGE JONES SALUTES HANK WILLIAMS) [Intro] G D A D [Verse 1]
D                                                      G
I know there's never been a man in the awful shape I'm in

             D                 E7              A7
I can't even spell my name, my heads in such a spin

  D                                              G
Today I tried to eat a steak with a big old tablespoon

                            D
You got me chasin' rabbits, walkin' on my hands

      A              D
And a-howlin' at the moon
[Verse 2]
D
Well look, I took one look at you

                       G
And it almost drove me mad

                D                  E7             A7
And then I even went and lost what little sense I had

    D                                               G
Now I can't tell the day from night, I'm crazy as a loon

                            D
You got me chasin' Rabbits, pullin' out my hair

      A              D
And a-howlin' at the moon
[Lap Steel & Fiddle Solos] D G D E7 A7 D G D A D [Verse 3]
D                                                    G
Some friends of mine asked me to go out on a huntin' spree

                               D
'Cause there ain't a hound dog in this state

         E7              A7
That can hold a light to me

  D                                                         G
I eat three bones for dinner today, then I tried to tree a 'Coon

                            D
You got me chasin' Rabbits, scratchin' fleas

      A              D
And a-howlin' at the moon
[Verse 4]
D                                                   G
I rode my horse to town today and a gas pump we did pass

                      D                   E7               A7
I pulled 'im up and I hollered whoa, said fill 'em up with gas

    D
The man picked up a monkey wrench and wham!

              G
He changed my tune

                            D
You got me chasin' rabbits, spittin' out teeth

      A              D
And a-howlin' at the moon
[Verse 5]
D                                                      G
I never thought in this old world a fool could fall so hard

                 D               E7
But honey, baby, when I fell the whole world

          A7
Must have jarred

  D
I think I'd quit my doggish ways

                          G
If you'd take me for your groom

                            D
You got me chasin' rabbits, pickin' out rings

      A              D
And a-howlin' at the moon...
