Verse 1
(C major) (F major) (G major) (F major) (C major) (F major) (G major) (C major) One night some friends and I
(F major)
went out to have (G major) us a couple of (C major) rounds
When (F major) who should appear there (C major) at the door
but the (D major) drunkard of the town (G major)
He came (F major) through the door with a (C major) rush and a roar
(F major) drinkin’ more than the bar could (G major) bring
Then he (C major) ordered up another and (F major) an other
and another and (G major) he began to sing (C major)
(F major) Why do I drink oh
Verse 2
(C major) why do I drink
you ask (G major) me once again (C major)
Well if (F major) I didn’t drink then (C major) how could I
stand the (G major) drunkard that I (C major) am
Verse 3
The lord takes care of fools (F major) and drunks
he (G major) said with a (C major) smilin’ face
And I might (F major) not be a fool (C major) you see so
(D major) I’m tryin to play it safe (G major)
And you (F major) ask me why I (C major) don’t get
sober well (F major) I’ve tried that be (G major) fore
Once (C major) I got sober and the (F major) old hangover
made (G major) me drink that much (C major) more
(F major) Why do I drink oh
Verse 4
(C major) why do I drink
you ask (G major) me once again (C major)
Well if (F major) I didn’t drink then (C major) how could I
stand the (G major) drunkard that I (C major) am
Verse 5
With that he stumbled (F major) out the door
with (G major) many a crash and (C major) crack
Tripped (F major) head over heels and (C major) landed smack
in the (D major) middle of the railroad (G major) track
Then (F major) flat on his belly he began (C major) to crawl
along (F major) the old cross (G major) tides
(C major) And as he crawled up the (F major) railroad track,
(G major) we could hear him (C major) cry
(F major) Why do I drink oh
Verse 6
(C major) why do I drink
you (G major) ask me once again (C major)
Well if (F major) I didn’t drink then how (C major) could I stand

(F major) (C major) (F major) (G major)
Verse 7
(C major)
We watched him crawl up the (F major) railroad
track for a (G major) hundred yards or so (C major)
Then (F major) all of a sudden we saw (C major) him stop and
(D major) heard him start to moan (G major)
Can someone (F major) help me down (C major) he said
(F major) I’m drunk out of my mind (G major)
And (C major) this is the tallest (F major) ladder that
(G major) I’ve ever tried to climb (C major)
Verse 8
(F major) Why do I drink oh (C major) (G major) (C major) (F major) (C major) (G major) (C major)
(F major) why
do I drink (C major) you ask (G major) me once again (C major)
Well if (F major) I didn’t drink then (C major) how could I
stand the (G major) drunkard that I (C major) (F major) (C major) (F major) (C major) am
the drunkard
