E    A    E   A


[Verse 1]

E                          A
I don't drink champagne in crystal glasses
E                          B7
I don't soak my beans in a silver pot
E                                       A
You won't catch me climbin’ through the social classes
E                        B7
I don't spend money that I ain't got.
E                          A
I don't waste my time with yesterday's troubles
E                    B7
I just try to do the job at hand
E                    A
I ain’t delicate and I ain't sudden
E     D             A
But I do the best I can.


[Chorus]

E                        A
I drink my beer from the bottle
E                          B7
I take my friends at their word, yes I do
E                      A
I lived my life like I find it every morning
E             D          A    E           B7         E
And I take my comfort in you,   I take my comfort in you.


[Verse 2]

E                         A
I don't put much stock in public opinion
E                        B7
I take it all with the a grain of salt
E                        A
I make mistakes like any human being
E                       B7
So I got no cause to go findin’ fault
E                         A
I take my troubles to the Lord on Sunday
E                      B7
I take my blues to the honky tonk
E                           A
You take my breath away the way you hold me
E         D              A
What else could poor boy want.


[Chorus]

E                        A
I drink my beer from the bottle
E                          B7
I take my friends at their word, yes I do
E                      A
I lived my life like I find it every morning
E             D          A    E           B7         E
And I take my comfort in you,   I take my comfort in you.

E                        A
I drink my beer from the bottle
E                          B7
I take my friends at their word, yes I do
E                      A
I lived my life like I find it every morning
E             D          A    E           B7         E
And I take my comfort in you,   I take my comfort in you.
