CAPO II 
 
 
INTRO: G  C  D 
 
         G                                       C 
Well it all began in my high school days when I spent the summer with my cousin Jake 
         D                                  G 
We were helpin' his daddy out on the dairy farm 
        G                                     C  
Now on Sundays we didn't have to work and one Sunday when his daddy was off to church 
D                                           G 
Jake invited me to share my first six-pack out in the barn 
        G                                      C 
He said you take one and I'll have the rest, brother this'll put some hair on your chest 
   D                                                G 
So I got on with the hair-growin' and I chugged it down 
          G                                                 C 
Well you shoulda seen the look in my cousin's eyes when I jumped off the loft 'cause I 
 
Thought I could fly 
D                                         G 
I was actin' like a crazy fool runnin' around 
         G                                              C 
When his daddy got home and he heard the noise, he come runnin' to the barn to check on us boys 
D                                                     G 
He took one look at me and said Bill what's got into you 
          G                                   C 
Well he began to pray to get the demons out, and it musta worked cuz when I opened my mouth 
D                                     G 
I lost my demons all over his Sunday suit 
 
 
CHORUS: 
N/C          G 
I'm a cheap drunk, that's what I am (that' what I am) 
           D                 G 
I get tore up on one little can (just one little can) 
           C                            G 
I may not last that long but we'll have fun 
              D                       G 
Have mercy on me, 'cause I'm a cheap drunk 
 
 
INTRO 
 
          G                              C      
Now I've been this for most of my life, as a matter of fact that's how I met my wife 
D                                         G 
She was sittin' at the bar lookin' like a dream 
       G                                                  C 
Well I walked right up and said my name is Bill, I could tell by her look she was 
 
Less than thrilled 
D                                             G 
But I said honey, do you mind if I buy you a drink 
         G                             C 
She said ok Phil let's have some fun, then the night became a danged marathon 
D                                                  G 
She was tossin' 'em back like she was drinkin' ice tea 
        G                                                C 
Before long the room started spinnin' 'round, but I was determined I was gonna stand my ground 
D                                       G 
No woman was ever gonna get the best of me 
         G                                              C 
Well the last words I slurred were I'll have one more, then somehow I woke up kissin' the floor 
D                                              G 
And to tell you the truth I don't remember the fall 
     G                                            C 
But standin' over me was a lady in white, I said what happened and where the hell am I 
D                                                    G 
And that's when she introduced herself as Mrs. Bill Engvall 
 
 
CHORUS 
 
              D                       G               
Have mercy on me, 'cause I'm a cheap drunk 
 
        N/C 
SPOKEN: That's right, alright boys it's party time, somebody put another dollar in the  
        jukebox, and we're gonna rock it tonight 
 
 
CHORUS 
 
              D    N/C 
Have mercy on me, 'cause I'm a cheap drunk 
 
 
SPOKEN: That's right boys, I've had my fill, I'm gonna go ugly early, somebody call me a 
        cab, I gotta go
