C                         F            C
Lord don't I know whiskey ain't a good chaser
              G7          C
For chasin', a memory gone wild
                        F     C
It ain't no cure and it won't erase her
                           G7
Only board up the pain for awhile

[Verse 2]
   F                        C
So why did I reach for that barroom door
                                   G7
I ain't been drunk in a week and a day
     C                                F      C
Lord guide these headlights cause the bottle tonight
                     G7  C
Says I'm comin' home D.O.A.

[Chorus]
                       F             C
Drunk on arrival three sheets to the wind
                       G7             C
Ain't no mistakin' the state that I'm in
                          F            C
Deliver me Lord from this hell where I been
                                 G7
Mixing whiskey and memories till when
                     C
I'm drunk on arrival again

[Verse 3]
                                  F          C
I musta drunk every drop that the bar had to offer
                G7            C
Musta closed it down drunk it dry
                                      F          C
I ain't been in worse shape since the day that I lost her
                                  G7
And this bottle's the damn reason why

[Verse 4]
        F                        C                G7
Now the road keeps a swayin' the stop signs are a blur
       C                           G7
Lord, I hope that you're lookin' my way
         C                        F            C
Hope the drive ends ahead cause I feel all but dead
            G7  C
Comin' home D.O.A.

[Chorus]
                       F             C
Drunk on arrival three sheets to the wind
                       G7             C
Ain't no mistakin' the state that I'm in
                          F            C
Deliver me Lord from this hell where I been
                                 G7
Mixing whiskey and memories till when
                     C
I'm drunk on arrival again
