Drinkin' Them Beers ~ Tompall & The Glaser Brothers (1981) Written by Bill Chappell G Last night, I had a little talk with myself C G Just me and me, man to man G I said, Self, I think it?s time I laid it on the line D7 G And I tried my best to make me understand: G
Drinking them beers G Shedding them tears C G Over a love that?s grown cold G Wasting time, yours and mine D7 And wasted time can make a man grow old G I said, Self, you?ll ruin your health C G They say alcohol will cook the brain G I answered me, That well may be D7 G But you know it sure works good to kill the pain G Last night, I had a little talk with myself C G About an old love affair G I said, Self, can?t you see, she?s killing you and me D7 G And we both know she don?t even care G Drinking them beers G Shedding them tears C G Over a love that?s grown cold G Wasting time, yours and mine D7 And wasted time can make a man grow old G I said, Self, you?ll ruin your health C G They say alcohol will cook the brain G I answered me, That well may be (well may be) D7 G But you know it sure works good to kill the pain G Drinking them beers G Shedding them tears (crocodile) C G Over a love that?s grown cold G Wasting time, yours and mine D7 G And wasted time can make a man grow old (a man grow old)
