Beer Belly Blues

G                         C      
Beer belly blues, what color are 
          G
my new shoes.
 G                               
Cause my feet and belt buckle are 
                  D
things I rarely see.
      G                        
My problem is not my glands, it 
          C
comes poured from aluminum cans,
 G                            
And Papst Blue Ribbon has been 
     D            G
awfully good to me.

[Verse 1]
      C                          
And honey when you buy my shirts, 
        G
make sure there triple XL
 G                                 
Four or five people I know at work 
                                 D
have started callin' me Orsen Wells.
  G                         
I got endorsment offers from 
                        C
Michelob, Lite, and Strohs,
      G                          
And Junior Sample's family called 
             D                  G
and their savin' me his old clothes.

[Chorus]
G                         C      
Beer belly blues, what color are 
          G
my new shoes.
G                                 
Cause' my pants and my zipper are 
                D
things I rarely see
   G                               
My mama says I'm big boned, I can't
   C
 fit in her mobile home.
G                            D   
And Old Milwaukie's been awfully 
         G
good to me.

[Verse 2]
         C                         
Yeah I used to be a lean 175 now 
         G
I'm way over three
       G                           
It's a gettin' to the point that my
 own wife dont wanna' slow dance 
      D
with me
        G                          
Cause' I like to eat and watch tv, 
                       C
and knock out a case or two
G                                 
Even people like Sally Struthers 
      D                  G
say that I need to lose a few.

[Chorus 3]
G                         C      
Beer belly blues, are something 
          G
that I can't lose
G                                 
If Richard Simmons saw me he'd cry
                D
 and hold my hand
           G                       
Yeah but I couldn't touch my knees,
           C
 if I was sweatin' to the oldies
G                             D  
And Old Milwaukie's been awfully 
          G            C
good to me.
G                             
Yeah Papst Blue Ribbon has been 
    D            G         C
awfully good to me
G                                 
Yeah yeast in generals' been 
D            G        C         G
awfully good to me.
