Song: Drinkin Thing Tab
Drinkin' Thing by Gary Stewart
Transcribed by Jody Purswell
Intro: F F F Bb C
(For the intro: play all barre chords, it makes it easier...
For the F's, hit a strong bass note and then strum; on the last one hit the bass
note and strum twice and switch directly into a Bb and strum once. Hit the
Bb once and slide up to a C then pause and start the verses.)
N.C. F Bb C C B Bb
Every day I tell myself it's temporary
Bb F
That it's only 'cause she's young
Bb C
That makes her want another man
F Bb C C B Bb
Even though she makes me feel unecessary
Bb C F
I've found a way to help me understand
Chorus:
N.C. Bb
I've got this drinking thing
F
To keep from thinkin things
Bb
'Bout where you been,
C
who you been with
F
What you've done
F F7 Bb
And it's a lonely thing
F
But it's the only thing
Bb C F
To keep a foolish man in love hanging on
N.C. F Bb C C B Bb
If I wait up at home I'll only ask her questions
Bb F
She'd probably tell the truth,
Bb C
So I don't even ask
F Bb C C B Bb
So I sit here on this barstool feeling helpless
Bb C F
And I wonder just how long a man can last
Repeat Chorus twice
