Day Drinker
Recorded by Johnny Duncan
Written by Sonny Curtis

C                    G7
Day drinker habitual no-count drunk 
                C
And bum all day long
Em  F               G7            F
Day drinker I ain't had one sober thought 
G7             C
Since you been gone

                         
I find the livin' on the byway 
F                             C    G7
Trying to make a dollar and a dime
C
I beg and spend my salary 
F
On a ninety cent room at some hotel
  G7          F      C       G7             C
A twenty cent jug of bootleg sneaky beatin' wine

Repeat #1


My life's a mere existence 
F                  C   G7
A daily search for wine
C
But if I had resistance 
    F
I'd find myself a good woman to love
G7           F       C       G7             C
Forget about you and bootleg sneaky beatin' wine
