G                C              D
Started out just drinking beer
  G                                
I didn't know how or why or what I 
    C            D
was doing there
G                                 
Just a couple more made me feel a 
       C       D
little better
  G                              
Believe me when I tell you it was 
                        C       D
nothing to do with the letter

G                                 
Ran right out of beer, I took a 
            C       D
look into the larder
G                                 
No bones nothing I'd better go and
               C       D
 get something harder
G                                 
Back in a flash I started on a 
        C         D
dash of Jamaica Rum
G                                  
Me and Pat Malone, drinking on our 
C    D
own


CHORUS:

G                        C       D
Oh, the nips are getting bigger
G                             C  
Oh yeah, the nips are getting 
     D
bigger
G                        C       D
Oh, the nips are getting bigger
G                     C       D
Yeah, they're getting bigger


REPEAT GUITAR BREAK


G                                 
Sometimes I wonder what all these 
              C                  D
chemicals are doing to my brain
G                                 
Doesn't worry me enough to stop me
      C               D
 from doing it again
G                           
Wiping out brain cells by the 
              C             D
million but I don't care
G                                 
Doesn't worry me even though I 
         C             D
ain't got a lot to spare


REPEAT CHORUS

REPEAT GUITAR BREAK

(End by repeating first three power 
chords from guitar break)
