Misc Originals – David Lewis - The More You Drink (Guitar)

E                    E7                   A                A7
So you are out there with your drinks and I’m here on this stage,

        E                                    B7
You may think that this looks easy, but it’s not

  E           E7             A           A7
I have my aspirations, but I know my limitations

  E                        B7                E
I ain’t got much, but I’ll give it what I’ve got

        E                E7         A               A7
I got a guitar 'round my neck and a flat pick in my hand

    E                                              B7
Six strings, three chords, you’d think that that’s enough

      E          E7               A               A7
I may be no virtuoso.... but I’ll tell you what I do know

       E                     B7               E
If you can’t play well, play loud, so turn it up

            A                            E
And there’s something that I’ve noticed, hanging out round here

   A                           B7
We all get better looking with every glass of beer

       A                                    E           A
If you think I ought to practice more, then buy another round

           E              B7               E
‘cause the more you drink ... the better I sound

E             E7                 A                  A7
Mostly I play cover tunes ‘cause you like songs you know

     E                            B7
Like Brown-Eyed Girl and Margaritaville

      E              E7              A            A7
But I sit up late at night, thinking surely I can write

         E           B7              E
Just one song, yes I can, and yes, I will

          E              E7              A              A7
Then I’ll play it for my friends as they clap and I pretend

     E              B7
That I'm a hot shot bonafide rock star

         E           E7             A               A7
And as I ponder my existence on the path of least resistance

           E                     B7            E
It's still true:  … wherever you go, there you are

    A                           E
And you, too, may have noticed, hanging out round here

   A                           B7
We all get better looking with every glass of beer

       A                                    E           A
If you think I ought to practice more, then buy another round

           E              B7                E
‘cause the more you drink ... the better I sound

       A                             E              A
Yeah, proudly have a Bud Light, just lay your money down

           E              B7                E
‘cause the more you drink ...the better I sound
