Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

V1: I used to come home late and not a minute too soon

Barking like a dog, howling at the moon

You'd be mad as an ol' red hen, up all night wonderin' where I been

I'd fall down and say come help me honey

You laughed outloud, I guess you thought it was funny

I sobered up, and I got to thinkin'

Girl you ain't much fun since I quit drinkin'

C1: Now I'm paintin' the house and I'm mendin' the fence

I guess I gone out and lost all my good sense

Too much work is hard for your health

I could've died drinkin', now I'm killing myself

Now I'm feedin' the dog, sackin' the trash

It's honey do this, honey do that

I sobered up, and I got to thinkin'

Girl you ain't much fun since I quit drinkin'

(instrumental break over chorus chords)

C2: Now I'm fixin' the sink and I'm mowin' the grass

You made me a list and I'm bustin' my...wheel

All broke down, tail's been (or talespin??) draggin'

It's a tough ol' life up here on the wagon

Now I'm feedin' the dog, sackin' the trash

It's honey do this, honey do that

I sobered up, and I got to thinkin'

Girl you ain't much fun since I quit drinkin'

Yeah, I sobered up, and I got to thinkin'

Girl you ain't much fun since I quit drinkin'
