E                                 A              E
I've got a good woman at home who thinks I do no wrong
E                                          B7
But sometimes lord, she just ain't always around
                    E                    A              E
And you know that's when I fall, I can't help myself at all
E                 B7
And I get whiskey bent and hell bound
E                                              A              E    
Play me some songs about a ramblin' man, put a cold one in my hand, 
                                            B7
'cause you know I love to hear those guitar sounds
                       E                                    A               E
Don't you play 'I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry' cause I'll get all balled up
inside
                     B7            E
And I'll get whiskey bent and hell bound
E                                             A              E    
Sure enough about closing time, (I'm) about stoned out of my mind
                                            B7
And I end up with some honky-tonk special I found
                     E                            A                E
Just as sure as the morning sun come, thinking of my sweet girl at home
                          B7            E
And I need to get whiskey bent and hell bound
E                                                A              E    
Play me some songs about a ramblin' man, put old Jim Beam in my hand
                                                           B7
'cause you know I still love to get drunk and hear country sounds
                         E                             A            E
But don't you play 'Your Cheatin' Heart' cause that'll tear me all apart
                 B7            E
I'll get whiskey bent and hell bound
E                             B7               E
Yeah, old Hank's songs always make me feel low down

It depends on which album you listen to. Mine he does it in "G" -Blood4Money \| 1/24/2004
Sounds Good to Me ;) But yea it could all depend on which record is being listened to. --- The guy with long hair in the art ad looks like me.. Maybe he is my lost twin. -XVYPER \| 2/22/2004
this is totally wrong the chords are g c d -khaymain \| 3/7/2004
This key works if you use a capo on the third fret. ;) -bandit2280 \| 8/6/2004
Yeah, my recording's also in the key of G. But you can easily play these chords with the capo on the 3rd fret. -debeck \| 8/15/2004
to stay true to the song this is best done in G without a capo -eflow116 \| 2/12/2005
definitely E A B7, no doubt about it with the deep voice you can play it no other way-burn -joeyatfsu \| 5/26/2005
this song is in g -fender2005 \| 6/13/2005
When Hank perfomred with Kid Rock on CMT, it E A B. -flipacard \| 8/1/2005
THIS IS NO DOUBT IN G.... -speeoman013 \| 9/27/2005
I have Hanks Songbook right in front of me and it is E A B7. Probably does play it multiple ways but this is the way it was transcribed to his songbook! DRINK LOTS OF WHISKEY! -ascarla \| 2/19/2006
This song was originally recorded in G, no matter what any song/tab book says. He has played it live in E and probably other keys as well, but the recorded version as heard on the Whiskey Bent & Hellbound Album was in the key of G. An interview with Hank revealed that he originally wrote this song with his guitar tuned to Open G tuning. You can play it in whatever key you want to, but just to settle the agrument, the original recorded version was in the key of G. -Mjagg \| 3/27/2009
E or G it doesn't really matter -- that is why we have different chords and keys And that is all I have to say about that. -Buckaru2 \| 2/3/2010
when i play this song i play it with the capo on the third and use these same chords.. i think it sounds great.. but thats all opinion.. -geetarmon \| 6/2/2010
If you put your capo on the 3rd fret you just put your guitar in the key of G, so E A B works. No capo, G C D , it's all the same. Learn some basic music theory. -Wyattblackwood \| 1/10/2015
