VERSE 1

        D                  A7                  D
He was sittin at the bar, sippin on a regular coke.

        G                                                  D
We were drinkin and smokin and making him the butt of our jokes.

            G                              D                     G
We all said man what happened to you?  Why can't you just have a few?

           D                     A7                        D
He said I would if I could, but it's probably best that I don't.


CHORUS
                   D                 F#7
'Cause the more I drink, the more I drink,

              G                            D
Then I'm the world's greatest lover and a dancin' machine.

                                     A7
I get loud, I get proud and it gets worse

               D                 F#7               G             D
Well if I have one, I'll have thirteen, Now there ain't no in between

                        A7                D
'Cause the more I drink, hmm, the more I drink


VERSE 2	

A couple of cold ones and somebody hands me a shot

Hell even bucktooth and bowlegged women start lookin' hot

And pretty soon I'm bummin' cigarettes and sweet talkin' some big brunette

Once I get on a roll, there ain't no tellin' where I'll stop


CHORUS
                  D                 F#7
'Cause the more I drink, the more I drink

            G                            D
And I'm the world's greatest lover and a dancin' machine

      D                              A7
I get loud, I get proud, and it gets worse

               D                 F#7             G             D
Yeah if I have one I'll have thirteen, now there ain't no in-between

                  D                 A7                D
'Cause the more I drink, the more I drink, the more I drink, yeah yeah



D  F#7  G   D                                   A7
            Mmm that's what I'm talkin' about

              D                  F#7
Man if I have one, I'll have thirteen
          G                        D
Then they can't get me off the kareokee machine
           D     A7          D     G
The more I drink, the more I drink
                D                  A7
Yeah the more I drink, the more I drink, the more I drink
