David Allan Coe  - Drank My Wife Away
Capo 3

D A D

D 	                         G
Lately I been drinkin’ too much whiskey
D                              A
I been, gettin’ drunk now everyday
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

Chorus:
G                              D
Just pour me, a double shot of whiskey
                                     A
I’ll be here, till I drink up all my pay
    D (stop)                              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 drowned my sorrow
D 	                       A
Ever since that woman, went a stray
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.

Chorus:

D 	           A             D
I think I finally Drank My Wife Away
