Songwriters: COOPER, DON Words and music by hank williams, sr.
I [c] know there's never been a man in the awful [c7] shape Im [f] in I can't even [c] spell my name, my [d7] heads in such a [g7] spin To-[c] day I tried to eat a steak with a big old [c7] table-[f] spoon You got me chasin rabbits, [c] walkin on my hands ...and [g7] howlin at the [c] moon.
Well, (*sug), I took one look at you and it almost drove me mad And then I even went and lost what little sense I had Now I can't tell the day from night, Im crazy as a loon You got me chasin rabbits, pullin out my hair and howlin at the moon.
Some friends of mine asked me to go out on a huntin spree Cause there aint a hound dog in this state that can hold a light to me I eat three bones for dinner today, then tried to tree a coon You got me chasin rabbits, scratchin fleas and howlin at the moon.
I rode my horse to town to day and a gas pump we did pass I pulled im up and I hollered whoa!, said fill im up with gas The man picked up a monkey wrench and wham!, he changed my tune You got me chasin rabbits, spittin out teeth and howlin at the moon.
I never thought in this old world a fool could fall so hard But honey baby, when I fell the whole world must have jarred I think I'd quit my doggish ways if you'd take me for your groom You got me chasin rabbits, pickin out rings and howlin at the moon.
