The Intoxicated Rat Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Now the other night I tripped
and fell because I couldn't see
I got tangled up in [F]the old [D]doormat
and fell flat as I could be
Man, I fell and broke a bottle of gin
And I didn't have no more,
you know, I fell
The cap flew off when [F]I fell down
[D]And I[Bm] spil[D]led it on the floor
A rat came out of his hiding place
And he got that gin scent
He ran right out and he [F]got a [D]little shot
And back to his hole he went
Back to his hole he went
Right on [G]back to the hole he [D]went
He [G]ran right out and [D]he got a little shot
And back [G]to the [D]hole he went
His little eyes [F]began [D]to shine
as he laughed up more and more
But it made me kinda glad that I fell down
and I spilled it on the floor
But soon that little bottle was dry
and there wasn't any more gin
He said, doggone, my wife said,
[F]I'm [D]going to get [F]drunk [D]again. He
washed his face with his front feet
and on his hind legs sat,
with a twisted smile and a half -closed eye.
He said, now where's that
dead burned cat?
Now, he didn't go back to the hole
He [G]said, Doggone, [D]why so?
I'm only a rat, but a dead burn cat
Can't run [G]me [D]back to my hole
I ain't goin' back to the hole
I ain't goin' back to the hole
I'm gonna be cool, daddy
I'm gonna swing, baby
