Lyrics
Thinkin and Drinkin 1024 Intro Chorus G C G I do my thinking when I’m drinking——sitting in this Smokey bar D G (pause) On a barstool in the corner—nursing my broken heart C G My tab seems to be unending—my friends think the world of me D G I do my thinking when I’m drinking—since she walked out on me V1 (Pause) C G Bartender get me a whiskey-pour another for my friend D G When this glass is empty—do another round again C G Here’s my keys cause when I leave here I won’t be able to drive D G just sit me over in the corner-just check to see if I’m alive V2 C G She packed her bags and said your drinking -has got me in a rage D G I don’t care if she leaves cause-on this stool I’m gonna stay C G She’s left no choice but to hang out-with all my good timing friends D G my glass is getting empty bartender do it again Solo Chorus G C G I do my thinking when I’m drinking——sitting in this Smokey bar D G On a barstool in the corner—nursing my broken heart C G My tab seems to be unending—my friends think the world of me D G I do my thinking when I’m drinking—since she walked out on me Turnaround C G If she calls looking for me-I got nothing to say D G just tell her you’ve not seen me since late yesterday Guitar Solo Chorus G C G I do my thinking when I’m drinking——sitting in this Smokey bar D G On a barstool in the corner—nursing my broken heart C G My tab seems to be unending—my friends think the world of me D G I do my thinking when I’m drinking—since she walked out on me D C D I do my thinking when I’m drinking—since that woman —oooh G since she walked out on me Outgo End
