[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
I Gheard it on the radio and six o'clock news
They said you Gbetter not drive when you get on the booze
The Gsheriff was on T.V. a-shaking his hand
             GN.C.
Said "We're really cracking down", you better understand
[Chorus]
When you Cget on the whiskey (When you get on the whiskey) 
When you Gget on the whiskey (When you get on the whiskey) 
                           D   CN.C.                 G  D  
When you get on the whiskey let somebody else drive
[Verse 2]
Started Gdrinking on Friday and by Saturday night
They had me Gblowin' thru a tube charged with D.U.I.
GCuffed and booked and thrown in a cell
       GN.C.
I was tryin' to sober up and tellin' myself
[Chorus]
When you Cget on the whiskey (When you get on the whiskey) 
When you Gget on the whiskey (When you get on the whiskey) 
                                D   CN.C.                   G  D  
When you get on the whiskey just let somebody else drive
[Solo]

D  C  G  D
[Verse 3]
GForty eight hours is a long time to kill
In a Groom full of drunks surrounded by steel
GHell's all they serve in a metro bar
    GN.C.
So don't be drinkin' when you're drivin' your car 
[Chorus]
When you Cget on the whiskey (When you get on the whiskey) 
When you Gget on the whiskey (When you get on the whiskey) 
                           D    CN.C.            G  
When you get on the whiskey let somebody else drive
When you Cget on the whiskey (When you get on the whiskey) 
When you Gget on the whiskey (When you get on the whiskey) 
                           D   CN.C.             G  
When you get on the whiskey let somebody else drive
[Outro]
Oh, when you Cget on the whiskey (When you get on the whiskey)
When you Gget on the whiskey (When you get on the whiskey)
                           D   CN.C.             G  
When you get on the whiskey let somebody else drive
