I:
              G             B7
Last night we had a date, I stayed out late

  C                  G
I bought round after round

    A7
And just for you I played the fool

     D7
Yes, I was quite the clown

G                  B7
Words were spoken, hearts were broken

    C              G
But now I hope you see

           G       D            G
It was the whiskey talkin', not me
II:

I didn't mean to make a scene

     C             G
It's really not my style

  A7
I raised some Cain and called some names

          D7
I guess I got myself a little wild

     G                 B7
If I brag too loud and act too proud

      C               G
Don't blame old Jerry Lee

It was the whiskey talkin', not me

I had myself a little splash

  Em                    
I said "You no good piece of trash"

A
Shut my mouth all through the night

   D
Oh Lord, my bark's bigger than my bite

   G                  B7
If lies were told, if I was bold

      C              G
Don't take it personally

           G        D            G
It was the whiskey talkin', not me

B
At the bar I bucked and roared

  Em
I picked a fight and I got floored

  A7
I had a shot, got plumb insane

     D7
Took everybody's name in va in

    G                 B7
But all that stuff is just a bluff

  C               G
I wouldn't hurt a flea

           G   B7      D        G
It was the whiskey talkin', not me
III:
G                      B7
The old devil makes me do some things

   C              G
It takes a lot of nerve

    A7
How could I sass a girl like you

       D
You're more than I deserve

          G             B7
Don't you get upset and please accept

    C             G
Old Killer's apology

It was the whiskey talkin', not me
Bridge:
B
End up with some more moonshine

   Em
My mouth was workin' overtime

A7
Just let off a little steam

  D7
I ain't the Killer that I seem

    G                     B7
Sometimes I'm strange but I might change

    C            G 
You got my guarantee

It was the whiskey talkin', not me

             G      B7       D     G
Yes that old whiskey talkin', not me
