first "tab" so it might be wrong but it sounds right to me.

Capo at 1 if your guitar is set to standard tuning

FI woke up this morning and I
Cswore to God I'd never,
G Cever take another drink again.
FI fought it like the devil
Cbut you know that you're in trouble
G Cwhen your fourteen and drunk by 10AM
Ftried to hide it from my mom and dad
C Gall my friends said straighten up I just laughed and said you don't understand
C G Cthat's a hell of a lot to ask of a drinkin' man
Fat sixteen I was on my own
Cflyin' high and staying stoned
G CI knew everything there was to know
FI did things that I can't talk about
CI wore my mom and daddy out
G CLate nights they spend prayin' for my soul
FStayed sober once for nine days in a row
CI quit cold-turkey
G CDame near almost made it to ten
C G CBut that's a hell of a lot to ask of a drinkin' man
F C GI look into the mirror, bottle in my hand
F C GI'd like to pour it out, I just don't think I can
C G C'Cause that's a hell of a lot to ask of a drinkin' man
FI don't know when or where it was
COr how we met and fell in love
G COr why she'd even fall for a guy like me
FI tried to pull myself together
CHopin' we could last forever
G CFor a while I started to believe
FHer daddy said, "She's all I got
CSon, don't ever break her heart
G CPromise me before you take her hand"
C G CBut that's just too much to ask of a drinkin' man
F C GI look into the mirror, bottle in my hand
F C GI'd like to pour it out, I just don't think I can
C G C'Cause that's a hell of a lot to ask of a drinkin' man
F I woke up this mornin' and I
C swore to god I'd never,
G Cever take another drink again
