Now they call me Seldom Sober
  F                        C
And damn right that's what I am

Hanging round in places like this
                  G
You'd never understand
   C                             F                C
J D's and the four corners, and a good old country bar
                              F
I'm raising hell and having a ball
              C         G    C
At old Tom's country Amvets Bar
                              F
I'm raising hell and having a ball
               C       G    C
At old Toms' Country Amvets Bar

Now my gals done left me, quite awhile ago
She never liked the neon, or old Cotton Eye Joe
Jack Daniels and the Four Corners, taken good care of me
I'm raising hell and having fun
At old Tom's Country Amvets Bar
I'm raising hell and having a ball
At old Tom's Country Amvets Bar

Key up to D

Now they call me Seldom Sober
   G                        D
And damn right, that's what I am

But I like Willie Nelson
                         A
And a good old honky tonk band
   D                        G
I'm raising hell and having a ball
              D       A     D
At old Tom's Country Amvets Bar
                             G
I'm raising hell and having a ball
