D                                  G                    D
Darlin', you know you know me much better than I know myself
                                             E                A
And this sittin' at home and watchin' TV is ruinin' my mental health
     Bm                                                G                     D
So I guess I'll go down to ol' Herschel or Harlem's or Sweeny's or some such place
    E                                         A7
How come you've got that strange look on your face?
Honey don't you know that

G                  A                        D
I'll just have one beer, then I'll be right home
       Bm                                A
Well I guess I might have said that once before
    G                   A             D
But this time don't you know I really mean it
    E                             A
And you know I don't get drunk anymore
    Bm                                       G                      D
But some of them guys be singin' them songs, doin' a little pickin' too
    Bm                                  A7
And you know how they love to twist my arm
      G                       A                            D
But I just can't help it if I have to jump up and show 'em how to "Yodel-ay-eee-hoo!"
      E                                        A7
And I don't see how one beer's gonna do me any harm
Let's see now...
(solo)

         D                                                    G                D
Well I'm sittin' here thinkin "Do I know another song?" Gotta keep this party alive
                                                               E                 A
And I know how you hate it when you're sleepin' alone, but I'm just too drunk to drive
     Bm                                         G                        D
But along about two, if I should find I'm gonna be a little late gettin' home
E                                        A7
Don't you know that I'll call you on the phone
And wake you up singing...
D        E        A
"I'll be home for breakfast
Bm      E7       A
You can count on me"

    G                  A                       D
But I'll just have one beer then I'll be right home
       Bm                              A
Well I told you that a bunch before, I guess
    G                   A             D
But this time don't you know I really mean it
    E                          A
And you know I don't get drunk anymore
    E                A             D
And you know I don't get drunk any less
      A7      D
Yodel-ay-eee-hee!
