Willie Nelson - I Gotta Get Drunk Ukulele

Tom: C

         C
Well, I gotta get drunk and I sure do dread it,
           F                       C
'cause I know just what I'm gonna do.

I start to spend my money, callin' everybody honey,
     D                    G
and wind up singin' the blues.
                F                C
I've spent my whole paycheck on some old wreck,
                               G
and brother, I can name you a few.
         C                     F
Well, I gotta get drunk and I sure do dread it,
           C         G             C
'cause I know just what I'm gonna do.

2. I gotta get drunk, I can't stay sober,
               F                     C
    there's a lot of good people in town,

    who'd like to hear me holler, see me spend my dollars,
           D                             G
    and I wouldn't think of lettin' 'em down.
      F
    There's a lot of doctors that tell me,
              C                          G
    that I'd better start to slowin' it down.
                 C                          F
    But there's more old drunks than there are old doctors,
          C                 G            C
    so I guess we'd better have another round.
