I'm A Cheap Drunk

CAPO II


INTRO: G  C  D

         G                         
Well it all began in my high school
              C
 days when I spent the summer with 
my cousin Jake
         D                         
We were helpin' his daddy out on 
         G
the dairy farm
        G                       
Now on Sundays we didn't have to 
              C
work and one Sunday when his daddy 
was off to church
D                                 
Jake invited me to share my first 
          G
six-pack out in the barn
        G                          
He said you take one and I'll have 
            C
the rest, brother this'll put some 
hair on your chest
   D                             
So I got on with the hair-growin' 
                   G
and I chugged it down
          G                        
Well you shoulda seen the look in 
                         C
my cousin's eyes when I jumped off 
the loft 'cause I

Thought I could fly
D                            
I was actin' like a crazy fool 
             G
runnin' around
         G                         
When his daddy got home and he 
                     C
heard the noise, he come runnin' to 
the barn to check on us boys
D                                 
He took one look at me and said 
                    G
Bill what's got into you
          G                     
Well he began to pray to get the 
              C
demons out, and it musta worked cuz 
when I opened my mouth
D                                 
I lost my demons all over his 
    G
Sunday suit

INTRO

          G                      
Now I've been this for most of my 
        C
life, as a matter of fact that's how
 I met my wife
D                                 
She was sittin' at the bar lookin'
        G
 like a dream
       G                           
Well I walked right up and said my 
                       C
name is Bill, I could tell by her 
look she was

Less than thrilled
D                                 
But I said honey, do you mind if I
            G
 buy you a drink
         G                      
She said ok Phil let's have some 
       C
fun, then the night became a danged 
marathon
D                                 
She was tossin' 'em back like she 
                 G
was drinkin' ice tea
        G                   
Before long the room started 
spinnin' 'round, but I was 
  C
determined I was gonna stand my 
ground
D                                 
No woman was ever gonna get the 
      G
best of me
         G                         
Well the last words I slurred were 
                     C
I'll have one more, then somehow I 
woke up kissin' the floor
D                                 
And to tell you the truth I don't 
             G
remember the fall
     G                             
But standin' over me was a lady in 
               C
white, I said what happened and 
where the hell am I
D                            
And that's when she introduced 
                        G
herself as Mrs. Bill Engvall


CHORUS

              D                    
Have mercy on me, 'cause I'm a 
   G
cheap drunk

        N/C
SPOKEN: That's right, alright boys 
it's party time, somebody put 
another dollar in the
        jukebox, and we're gonna 
rock it tonight


CHORUS

              D    N/C
Have mercy on me, 'cause I'm a cheap
 drunk


SPOKEN: That's right boys, I've had 
my fill, I'm gonna go ugly early, 
somebody call me a
        cab, I gotta go
