1. I've got a good woman at home who thinks I do no wrong,

                                                                           D     - D7

    but sometimes, Lord, she just ain't always around.

                                           G    G7              C                   G

    And you know, that's when I fall, I can't help myself at all,

                                   D                   G

    and I get whiskey bent and hell bound.

2. Play me some songs about a ramblin' man, put a cold one in my hand,

                                                                            D        - D7

    'cause you know I love to hear those guitar sounds.

                                         G                           G7      

    Don't you play 'I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry'

                          C                     G

    cause I'll get all balled up inside,

                                     D                   G

    and I'll get whiskey bent and hell bound.

3. Sure enough about closing time, I'm stoned out of my mind,

                                                                             D       - D7

    and I end up with some honky-tonk special I found.

                                      G                G7                     

    Just as sure as the morning sun come,

                        C                        G

     thinking of my sweet girl at home,

                                               D                    G

    and I need to get whiskey bent and hell bound.

 

                                                    G            G7   

4. Play me some songs about a ramblin' man,

                  C                        G

    put old Jim Beam in my hand,

                                                                                                  D        - D7

    'cause you know I still love to get drunk and hear country sounds.

                                         G         G7             

    But don't play 'Your Cheatin' Heart',

                           C                 G

    ‘cause that'll tear me all apart,

                              D                   G

    I'll get whiskey bent and hell bound.

                                  G                     D                         G

    Yeah, old Hank's songs always make me feel low down.
