Intro- D 

     D           A               D 
I'm drunk in the South just like Hank 
        D           A               D    D7 
I'm way down in the mire just like Hank 
        G                  D         Bm 
You can hide your eyes and think surprise 
          D 
But I can see through what you think 
                 D          A              D 
Because I've got spirits tonight just like Hank 

        D           A              D 
And I'm wild in the dirt just like Hank 
          D              A             D     D7      
I've been bruised up and cut just like Hank 
         G                               D              Bm 
I've got snakes in my dreams but I don't know what that means 
          D                  
But it's all just more reason to drink 
                 D       A              D 
Lord I've got spirits tonight just like Hank 

Chorus- 
          G                         D 
Well they stripped him of place and time 
          G                        A 
Yeah they stripped him of body and mind 

           D          A               D 
I've got Hell staring at me just like Hank 
             D        A                   D 
I'm still a long gone daddy just like old Hank 
             G                    D         Bm 
I've got a girl on each arm and a real mojo charm 
       D 
And it should be enough but it ain't 
               D                  A            D 
I've got a big hole right through me just like Hank

Well I'll tell you the truth just like Hank 
           D               A               D 
That I was born with these blues just like Hank 
            G                        D           Bm 
And so I'll sing these sad tunes and howl at the moon 
         D 
And I'll play this old box till I just can't 
              D        A               D    G 
Cause I ain't fooling around just like Hank

I ain't fooling around just like Hank
