[C] seven o'clock and I

Want to
[G] get a belly full of
[G] beer
VERSE 2:
My
[G] old man's drunker than a
[G] barrel full of monkeys
And my
[F] old lady she don't
[F] care
My
[C] sister looks cute in her
[C] braces and boots
A
[G] handful of grease in her
[G] hair
BREAK: [Dm] Oooh

I may
[G] sink a little drink and shout out
[G] "She's with me"
VERSE 4:
A
[G] couple of the sounds that I
[G] really like
Are the
[F] sounds of a switchblade and a

Whose

[G] bottom of a glass
BREAK: [Dm] Oooh
[Dm7]
