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,
Complain about us kids getting in 
     C
his hair,

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


[Chorus]

C               F              G
Fish swim, Birds fly, daddies 
           C
yell, mommas cry,
                   F        Am     
Old men, sit and think,            
Dm  G         C
           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                      
Hanging round, trying to make me 
  C
change


[Chorus]

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

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

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