A-D-E-A
A                                       D
You know the life that I've lived ain't been easy,
       E                           A
I've had my share of heartache and pain
                                D
Between the women I loved and the women that left me
E                                A
And the women that still curse my name
                                   D
But my heart's on the mend, 'cause I'm shit-faced again,
E                             A
My bottle's run dry  And my money's all spent
                       D                 E
The Sun's coming up and I can't find my truck
                      A
I'm shit out of luck, again…

 A                                D
Now I've drank all there is to be drunk around here
E                                A
I've pissed away everything that I held dear
        D                              E
Now I'm getting drunk on my own bitter tears
                         A
God damn that Whisky and Beer

A                                 D
Between the highways and byways and backwater roads
E                       A
I still always end back here
              D                E 
thinking about how my life could've been 
                   A
if it weren't for the whiskey and beer
                   D
no eulogy writing on the tomb stone, besides 
E                                       A
my grave's just the bottle i finished last night
                            D               E
now the sun's coming up  but I don't give a fuck
                               A
cause i feel like my life's at an end

A                                  D
Now I've drank all there is to be drunk around here
E                               A
I've pissed away everything that I held dear
                     D                      E
Now I’m getting drunk on my own bitter tears
                         A
God damn that Whisky and Beer

F#m                    Abm
The first shot rang out after sundown
      C#m                    A
The second shot hit me right here
F#m
And I swear to this day
Abm
I wouldn’t be that way
   C#m                            A
If it weren’t for the whiskey and beer

Now I’ve drank all there is to be drunk around here
I’ve pissed away everything that I held dear
Now I’m getting drunk on my own bitter tears
God damn that Whisky and Beer

repeat chorus...
