🎸 The Beer Drinking Song chords by Mac Davis

Chorus:
 D
 Ohhh why don't we all just get stoned,
   G              D
get drunk and sing beer drinking songs
                 D
Between Breshneff and Fagan, Khomeini and Ragen
   A7          G
We might as well all just get stoned.

Verse 1:
D
You can't even look at T.V. these days
                A7
Without getting scared half to death

The eye witness news leaves me used and abused
              D
I find myself gasping for breath

Verse 2:
D
There's strikes and inflation and strife between nations
              G
The worlds in a hell of a mess
                  D
But no matter who's hurt'n there's one thing for certain
   A7             D
The whole world will blame the U.S.

Chorus:
 D
 Ohhh why don't we all just get stoned,
   G              D
get drunk and sing beer drinking songs
                 D
Between Breshneff and Fagan, Khomeini and Ragen
   A7          G
We might as well all just get stoned.

Verse 3:
D
The Russians don't like us and we don't like them
            A7
The Israelis hate the Arabs

Iran and Iraq are on each others backs
  A7             D
and Al Salvador's still up for grabs

Verse 4:
D
I wish they'd take Eiddie, Ahlmene and Khomeini
              G
and Kadofe and all of the rest
                     D
Tie them all up to a chair and make them stare at Yasser Arafat
     A7            D
till he ugly'd the whole bunch to death

Chorus:
 D
 Ohhh why don't we all just get stoned,
   G              D
get drunk and sing beer drinking songs
                 D
Between Breshneff and Fagan, Khomeini and Ragen
   A7          G
We might as well all just get stoned.

Verse 5:
D
There's mass unemplyment and crime in the streets
              A7
Inflation gets worse every day
 A7
Their tax'n us the maximus and congress ain't after them
              D
Takes most of my pay check away

Verse 6:
 D          A7
Now social security becomes an obscurity
A7               D
Were the hells all the money we made
G
Lord if the commie's don't take us
 D               A7            D
Reaganomics will break us, we don't have a chance either way.

Chorus:
 D
 Ohhh why don't we all just get stoned,
   G              D
get drunk and sing beer drinking songs
                 D
Between Breshneff and Fagan, Khomeini and Ragen
   A7          G
