Please this song using barre chords only. The first measure of a chord is played with
the full barre chord structure. The second is played by lifting finger one (the pointer
finger) only, but keeping the other finger(s) in place. It gives this song its
rollicking sing-a-along feel.
Intro: D (use the fifth fret double barre chord and alternate full chord with lifting
finger one. This rhythm repeats the whole song)
[D]I've been out on a bender since I can't remember, and lately it's startin'
to s[A]how. Well the lines on my face is showin' my age and my mind's beginnin'
to [D]go. If I quit right now, some way, some how, and reverse the damage I've
[G]done. [A]But I'm lying to my fates, and it's far too late, to stop a bender
once it's be[D]gun.
CHORUS
[D]Another bender m[G]ight break me. And it might take me d[D]own. But that's a
chance I'm [A]takin'...and I'll take one more [D]round. So get out the [G]gravy...and
we'll all get hell[D]bound. Another bender might [A]break me, but it's too[G] late
to save me right [D]now.
Repeat verse and chorus for remainder of the song.
