[Verse]
D Am7
I ain't got no back porch, I ain't got no rockin' chair
C G F D
I've got a dirty coat got shaky hands and a face like a grizzly bear
D Am7
I'm an old wino I scare all the ladies you might say that I'm a bum
C G F D
But I'm sure wired up to that Honky Red and that good Gold Anchor rum

[Chorus]
C G
When I need a drink I'm chained to a sink
F D
It's "please" and "thank you, ma'am."
C G
When I get a head full of Honky Red
F D
I don't give a good god-damn

[Verse]
D Am7
Well I fought in your wars now I sleep in your doors I left my leg in Iraq
C G F D
All that remains is this ghostly pain when the mornings get too damp
D Am7
I was born in the sticks and I got to grade 6 so I ain't much in demand
C G F D
I deliver handbills and I steal red pills for the boys in the whore-house band

[Chorus]
C G
When I need a drink I'm chained to a sink
F D
It's "please" and "thank you, ma'am."
C G
When I get a head full of Honky Red
F D
I don't give a good god-damn

[Solo]

[Chorus]
C G
When I need a drink I'm chained to a sink
F D
It's "please" and "thank you, ma'am."
C G
When I get a head full of Honky Red
F D
I don't give a good god-damn

D Am7
I got me a girl I see sometimes now she's damn near half a ton
C G F D
I got me a furnished room at the Joyceville Pen well I got me a no-good son
D Am7
I'll keep me a head full of Honky Red until the reaper tolls the bell
C G F D
If I'm as high when I die as I was when I lived I'll be in Heaven just as sure as hell

[Chorus]
C G
When I need a drink I'm chained to a sink
F D
It's "please" and "thank you, ma'am."
C G
When I get a head full of Honky Red
F D
I don't give a good god-damn
