C          F     
I just got to raise this beer and make a toast 
G                       C            G 
I got fired to day, now lets get comatose 
     C                        F       
Well babe it's ok, we'll have time to get in shape 
G                    C 
Down at jims bar and grill lifting weights,  
 
      C                      F 
Doing 12 ounce curls i ain't lazy 
         G                           C 
It's the exercise that satisifies my mind 
        C                             F 
Got the weight of the world drivin me crazy 
    G                              C 
I'm taking it away, 12 ounces at a time  
 
 
Oh I need to improve myself 
I'm askin you please to have patience 
We may need to seek some professional help 
Down at the Detox and Rehabilitation 
 
Doin' those: 
Chorus 
 
 
Bridge: 
G             C 
Forty's fine, Sixteen's good enough 
     D                               G 
Well I just want 12 ounces at a time that won't run out 
F                                    C 
As long as there's enough for all of you and all of me 
D                                          G 
When this place runs out well, we'll call it history 
 
 
Fiddle 
 
 
Steel 
 
 
So a beer for everybody that can afford one 
Tell that barmaid bring me one too 
I need to blow job related troubles off my mind 
And quit worrying about how I'm getting' screwed 
 
Chorus
