Guitars & Beer

By axehappy  -  axehappy at countrytabs.com


Haven't got around to recording yet, cos I can't sing...lol
But its a real fast song, and the chords are picked rather than
strummed...kinda like a lead/rhythm hybrid type thing... ;o)
I've added a soundbyte of how the picking will sound for the verse and
chorus, and I've put an intro on too...
I'm hearing the melody as kinda like Working Man's Blues...

         A 
Well, my life it isn't easy,
        D            D7(add9)
It gets harder every day...

I ain't got no job,
      E7
But I still got bills to pay.
   A
My girlfriend's gonna leave me,
    D                 D7(add9)    
But man, I just don't care..
         A               A
I'm just pickin' here on my guitar,
    E7              A  
Cos one day I'll be there....

INSTRUMENTAL



        A
Now, my girlfriend's packed her bags,
      D               D7(add9)
She's walkin' out the door.
      A
She's shouting as she's goin',
    E7 
But I don't know what for.
       A 
'Cause man, I just ain't listening,
         D              D7(add9)
I got my mind set on my song.
           A                     A   
I'm on the second verse, already wrote the first,
        D             A

REPEAT CHORUS



     Dbm                
Well now my strings are rusting,
   D                 E                      
My hands are getting sore.
    Dbm           
I'm running out of beer...
       D                           E
And my girl ain't here to bring me more!!

I wanted to be a country star and play the Opry.

I'll never have my music    played on CMT,

That my girl had stayed with me...
  E7 
I shoulda' done more than just sat here,
D                              A
Playin' my guitar and drinkin' beer.
  E7
I shoulda' done more than just sat here,
