C D
Helen’s got a good job at Kroger’s
F G C
Handlin’ people’s money all day long
C D
Maybe she will give me a few dollars
F G C
Just enough to get my body stoned
Cause if whiskey sold for 30 cents a gallon
Buddy , I couldn’t buy a quart
I guess I’ll have to go on home to Helen
But Helen may not want me anymore
Chorus:
F G C
Lord I hate to do this to Helen
F G C
Cause Helen loves me when nobody don’t
F G C
But if I keep on playin’ with her feelin’s
F G C
I got a feelin’, someday she won’t
Key Change to D
D E
She said come on it, you’re lookin’ thinner
G A D
I’ve never seen you this bad off before
D E
I shouted “Shee” and set myself to dinner
G A D
Then we quietly closed the bedroom door
Next mornin’ I found a note on the table
With a big $10 bill pinned inside
I hope and pray someday you’ll whip that devil
And be the kind of man you were last night
