I Drink

  C
He'd get home at five thirty, fix his drink,
                  F
Sit down in his chair,
  G
Pick a fight with momma,
                                       C
Complain about us kids getting in his hair,

At night he'd sit alone and smoke,
                                         F
I'd see his frown behind his lighters flame,
                                Dm
Now that same frown is in my mirror,
    G                             C
I got my daddies blood inside my veins


[Chorus]

C               F              G           C
Fish swim, Birds fly, daddies yell, mommas cry,
                   F        Am     Dm  G         C
Old men, sit and think,                       I drink.

C
ya got that Chicken TV dinner, six minutes, on defrost,
            F
Three on high,
 G
Beer to wash it down with, then another,
                    C
little whisky on the side,

It's not so bad alone here, it don't bother me,
                        F
That every night's the same,
                        Dm
I don't need another lover,
         G                        C
Hanging round, trying to make me change


[Chorus]

C               F               G          C
Fish swim, Birds fly, lovers leave, by and by
                   F        Am     Dm  G         C
Old men, sit and think,                        I drink.

E  Em           F       Em      F     D      G
I know, what I am, but I don't……, I don't give a damn.

C               F              G           C
Fish swim, Birds fly, daddies yell, mommas cry,
                   F        Am     Dm  G         C
Old men, sit and think,                       I drink.
