Verse 1

G C

I’m gonna need some whiskey glasses

G D

‘Cause I don’t wanna see the truth

G C

Paint this town in a new color

G D

‘Cause I’m tired of the blues

G C

I’m gonna find a way to get even

G D

You can bet I’m gonna make it, too

G C

I’m gonna need some whiskey glasses

G D

If I’m gonna look at you

Chorus

G

So fill ’em up to the top

C ?

I don’t need no chaser

G D

Just a little of the hard stuff

G C

To make you a little easier to take

G D

I’m gonna need some whiskey glasses

G C

And I hope you’re doing fine

G D

But if I had to see you clearly

G C

I wouldn’t need the whiskey

G D

I wouldn’t need the whiskey

Verse 2

G C

I’m gonna need a buzz by the buzzard

G D

And a bull by the horns

G C

I’m gonna need a smoke by the cigarette

G D

That I wish I’d never born

G C

I’m gonna need a long stretch of blacktop

G D

And a tank full of no

G C

I’m gonna need some whiskey glasses

G D

If I’m gonna watch you go

Chorus

G

So fill ’em up to the top

C ?

I don’t need no chaser

G D

Just a little of the hard stuff

G C

To make you a little easier to take

G D

I’m gonna need some whiskey glasses

G C

And I hope you’re doing fine

G D

But if I had to see you clearly
