[Intro]
A D C
A   C*
 
 
[Verse 1]
A
I know that you’re out there
 
but I don’t know your name
    A
She has to have someone to hold her
 
and brother that’s a shame
      D
I am out here on this lonely road
                  C*
200 dates a year
A
You can drink my vodka,
 
you can drink my beer
E
Hold her tight all night
 
and you can love her all day long
      D                                         C*       A
But I ask you man to man don’t drink my whiskey when I’m gone
 
 
[Verse 2]
     A
That big old fancy house,
 
all them pretty cars
A
Brother I bought ‘em for her
 
with this old guitar
     D
So I hope you like my big TV
                           C*
and leather chair so soft
A
Feller I’ll keep the lights on,
 
An’ you can keep turning ’em off
  E
I know that you won’t be there
 
when those big wheels bring me home
      D                                          C*        A
and I hope like hell you didn’t drink my whiskey while I’s gone
 
 
[Chorus]
                  D                A
So don’t drink my whiskey when I’m gone
                     E                    A
I’m gonna need it to wind down when I get home
                     D                             A
I’m gonna need it to cover up the smell of your cologne
   E                             C*       A
So please don’t drink my whiskey when I’m gone ...(c’mon)
 
 
[Break]
D A D E C*
 
[Verse 3]
A
You might be the pool boy,
 
you might cut my grass
A
You might be my neighbor
 
or an old friend from the past
    D
Well I’ll keep singing hit songs
 
while you keep her occupied
A
You can have her heart son,
 
I’m gonna keep what’s mine
E
Keepin’ her off my back,
 
really ain’t all that wrong
     D                                  C*      A
‘Til I come in off the road and find my whiskey gone
 
[Chorus]
               D                A
Don’t drink my whiskey when I’m gone
                 E                    A
Gonna need it to wind down when I get home
                     D                          A
I’m gonna need it to cover up the smell of your cologne
   E                             C*       A
so please don’t drink my whiskey when I’m gone
   E                             C*       A   DC           A
so please don’t drink my whiskey when I’m gone... when I’m gone
