  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
