Drinkin Man

	  		first "tab" so it might be wrong but it sounds right to me. 

Capo at 1 if your guitar is set to standard tuning 

F 
I woke up this morning and I  
C 
swore to God I'd never, 
G                         C 
ever take another drink again. 
F 
I fought it like the devil 
C 
but you know that you're in trouble 
G                               C 
when your fourteen and drunk by 10AM 
F 
tried to hide it from my mom and dad 
C                                                          G 
all my friends said straighten up I just laughed and said you don't understand 
C                          G          C 
that's a hell of a lot to ask of a drinkin' man 


F 
at sixteen I was on my own  
C 
flyin' high and staying stoned 
G                                C 
I knew everything there was to know 
F 
I did things that I can't talk about 
C 
I wore my mom and daddy out 
G                                      C 
Late nights they spend prayin' for my soul 


F 
Stayed sober once for nine days in a row 
C 
I quit cold-turkey 
G                            C 
Dame near almost made it to ten 
C                            G            C 
But that's a hell of a lot to ask of a drinkin' man 


F                 C                   G 
I look into the mirror, bottle in my hand 
F                        C                     G 
I'd like to pour it out, I just don't think I can 
C                               G            C 
'Cause that's a hell of a lot to ask of a drinkin' man 



F 
I don't know when or where it was 
C 
Or how we met and fell in love 
G                                     C 
Or why she'd even fall for a guy like me 
F 
I tried to pull myself together 
C 
Hopin' we could last forever 
G                           C 
For a while I started to believe 


F 
Her daddy said, "She's all I got 
C 
Son, don't ever break her heart 
G                               C 
Promise me before you take her hand" 
C                            G          C 
But that's just too much to ask of a drinkin' man 


F                 C                   G 
I look into the mirror, bottle in my hand 
F                        C                     G 
I'd like to pour it out, I just don't think I can 
C                               G            C 
'Cause that's a hell of a lot to ask of a drinkin' man 



F                           
I woke up this mornin' and I  
C                       
swore to god I'd never,  
G                         C 
ever take another drink again
