G             B7
Last night we had a date, I stayed out late
  C                  G
I bought round after round
    A7
And just for you I played the fool
     D7
Yes, I was quite the clown
G                  B7
Words were spoken, hearts were broken
    C              G
But now I hope you see
           G       D            G
It was the whiskey talkin', not me

II:

  G              B7
I didn't mean to make a scene
     C             G
It's really not my style
  A7
I raised some Cain and called some names
          D7
I guess I got myself a little wild
     G                 B7
If I brag too loud and act too proud
      C               G
Don't blame old Jerry Lee
           G   B7  D            G
It was the whiskey talkin', not me

Bridge:

  B
I had myself a little splash
  Em                    
I said "You no good piece of trash"
A
Shut my mouth all through the night
   D
Oh Lord, my bark's bigger than my bite
   G                  B7
If lies were told, if I was bold
      C              G
Don't take it personally
           G        D            G
It was the whiskey talkin', not me
B
At the bar I bucked and roared
  Em
I picked a fight and I got floored
  A7
I had a shot, got plumb insane
     D7
Took everybody's name in va in
    G                 B7
But all that stuff is just a bluff
  C               G
I wouldn't hurt a flea
           G   B7      D        G
It was the whiskey talkin', not me

III:

G                      B7
The old devil makes me do some things
   C              G
It takes a lot of nerve
    A7
How could I sass a girl like you
       D
You're more than I deserve
          G             B7
Don't you get upset and please accept
    C             G
Old Killer's apology
           G     B7 D           G
It was the whiskey talkin', not me

Bridge:

B
End up with some more moonshine
   Em
My mouth was workin' overtime
A7
Just let off a little steam
  D7
I ain't the Killer that I seem
    G                     B7
Sometimes I'm strange but I might change
    C            G 
You got my guarantee
           G    B7        D     G
It was the whiskey talkin', not me
             G      B7       D     G
Yes that old whiskey talkin', not me
