Bill Chambers - I Drink guitar chord

I DRINK

Bill Chambers version of Mary Gauthier’s song

(tabbed by Bob McMahon)

Capo 2nd fret

(C) He'd get home at 5:30,

fix a drink, And sit down in his (F) chair,

(G) pick a fight with mama,

complain about the kids getting in his (C) hair.

At night he'd sit alone and smoke

I'd see his frown behind the lighters (F) flame

Now that (G) same frown's in my mirror

I got my daddy's blood inside my (C) veins

CHORUS

Fish (C) swim;

birds (F) fly;

daddy's (G) yell;

mamas (C) cry

old men, sit and think (F);

(G) I (C) drink

(C) Chicken TV dinner

6 minutes on defrost, 3 on (F) high

(G) a beer to wash it down with

then another, some whiskey on the (C) side

It's not so bad alone here

it don't bother me that every nights the (F) same

I don't (G) need another lover

hanging round, trying to make me (C) change

CHORUS

Fish (C) swim;

birds (F) fly;

lovers (G) leave;

by and (C) by;

old men, sit and think (F);

(G) I (C) drink

BRIDGE

And I (Em)know;

What I (F) am;

But I (Em) don't;

Give a (G) damn

CHORUS

Fish (C) swim;

birds (F) fly;

daddy's (G) yell;

mamas (C) cry

old men, sit and think (F);

(G) I (C) drink
