I’m Gonna Hire a Wino to Decorate our Home – [ LISTEN TO FIRST PART ]
[C] I came crawling home last night, like [F] many nights before: [C] I finally made it to my feet as she [F] opened up the [C] door. And she said, [F] βYouβre not gonna [G] do this any [C] more.β
{ CHORUS }
She said: βIβm [C] gonnaβ hire a wino to [F] decorate our home, So [F] youβll feel more at [C] ease here, and you wonβt have to [G] roam. Weβll take [C] out the dining room table, and put a [F] bar along that wall, and a [C] neon sign, to point the way, to our [G] bathroom down the [C] hall.β
She said: βJust [C] bring your Friday paycheck, and Iβll [F] cash them all right here. And Iβll keep on tap β for [C] all your friends, their favorite kinds of [G] beer. And for [C] you, Iβll always keep in stock, those [F] soft aluminum cans. And when youβre feeling [C] macho, you can [G] crush them like a [C] man.β
She said: βWeβll [C] rip out all the carpet, and put [F] sawdust on the floor. Serve boiled eggs and [C] pretzels, and I wonβt cook no [G] more.
Thereβll be [C] Monday night football on TV [F] above the bar. And a pay phone in the [C] hallway, when your [G] friends canβt find their [C] car.β

She said: βIβm [D] gonnaβ hire a wino to [G] decorate our home, So [G] youβll feel more at [D] ease here, and you wonβt have to [A] roam. Weβll take [D] out the dining room table, and put a [G] bar along that wall, and a [D] neon sign, to point the way, to our [A] bathroom down the [D] hall.β
She said:[D]Β βYouβll get friendly service, and for [G] added atmosphere. Iβll [G] slip on something [D] sexy, and Iβll cut it clear to [A] here. Then you can [D] slap my bottom, every [G] time you tell a joke. Just as long as you keep [D] tipping, well, Iβll [A] laugh until youβre [D] broke.β
She said: [D]Β βInstead of family quarrels, weβll [G] have a bar-room brawl, When the [G] Hamβs bear sayβs its [D] closing time, you wonβt have far to [A] crawl. And when [D] you run out of money, [G] youβll have me to thank. You can sleep it off next [D]Β morning, when Iβm [A] putting it in the [D] bank.βΒ Β
