[Verso 1]
 
 C 
Saddle up, buddy 
 G 
What are you drinkin'? 
Am                         F 
What you got that stops a man from his thinkin' 

   C 
I don't want tequila 
 G 
This job is bigger 
Am 
It's not a sipper 
      F 
It's more of a swigger 
 


[Refrão]
 
       Am 
And I need something quicker 
     Em 
Than any old liquor 
 F                        G 
Stronger than whiskey or wine 
         Am       Em 
Yeah, I need to erase her 
    F         C 
So line up a chaser 
     F         G        C   C 
And pour me a turpenti-ine

[Verso 2]
 
    C 
He said Did you find her 
       G 
In the arms of a stranger? 
   Am 
I said Even worse 
         F 
Hell, I wish I could blame her 

   C 
I guess you could say 
       G 
I let her disappear 
    Am 
For so long that one day 
     F 
She just wasn't here 
 


[Refrão]
 
       Am 
And I need something hotter 
      Em 
Than that firewater 
    F                        G 
To burn her right off of my mind 
         Am        Em 
Yeah, I need to forget her 
   F            C 
So I think you better 
 F           G        C   C 
Make mine a turpenti-ine

[Ponte]
 
   Am 
So Joe, here's a twenty 
     Em 
It's all jukebox money 
 F                       G 
Play everything by John Prine 

    Am            Em 
And I'll sit here bitchin' 
    F              C 
As long as you'll listen 
 F          G        C   C 
Sippin' on turpenti-ine
