              INTRO: D  A7  D  A7  D  A7  D 
 
       D                   A7                D 
He was sittin' at the bar, sippin' a regular Coke 
        G                                                   D 
We were drinkin' and smokin' and makin' him the butt of our jokes 
            G                             D                     G 
We all said man what happened to you, why can't you just have a few 
          D                     A7                        D 
He said I would if I could, but it's probably best that I don't 
 
                  D                 F#7 
'Cause the more I drink, the more I drink 
             G                            D 
Then I'm the world's greatest lover and a dancin' machine 
      D                                  A7 
I get loud, and I get proud, and it gets worse 
               D               F#7            G             D 
Well if I have one, I have thirteen, no there ain't no in-between 
                  D      A7              D 
'Cause the more I drink, hmm, the more I drink 
 
 
A couple of cold ones and somebody hands me a shot 
Hell even bucktooth and bowlegged women start lookin' hot 
And pretty soon I'm bummin' cigarettes and sweet talkin' some big brunette 
Once I get on a roll, there ain't no tellin' where I'll stop 
 
                  D                 F#7 
'Cause the more I drink, the more I drink 
            G                            D 
And I'm the world's greatest lover and a dancin' machine 
      D                              A7 
I get loud, I get proud, and it gets worse 
               D                 F#7             G             D 
Yeah if I have one I'll have thirteen, now there ain't no in-between 
                  D                 A7                D 
'Cause the more I drink, the more I drink, the more I drink, yeah yeah 
 
 
D  F#7  G   D                                   A7 
            Mmm that's what I'm talkin' about 
 
              D                  F#7 
Man if I have one, I'll have thirteen 
          G                        D 
Then they can't get me off the kareokee machine 
           D     A7          D     G 
The more I drink, the more I drink 
                D                  A7                     
Yeah the more I drink, the more I drink, the more I drink
