This is the title track from Byrd's latest album.  It is by far his best  
display of talent and maturity.  It probably won't get the respect and air  
time that his earlier albums did, but neither did his last album "It's About  
Time".  This song is very easy and would be a great beginner song for those  
just learning to play.  Learn this one and play it at all your gigs, it'll  
be just as common as "Margaritaville" in 20 years, and will probably take  
the place of "Watermelon Crawl" as the crowd's favorite.

Intro 
G C G D 
 
G                                     C

bucket 
G                                    D 
On a mission to drown her memory but, I don't know with all this ruckus, but

One round of Jose Cuervo, I caugth my boot tappin along with the beat, and  
after 
G                         D 
Two rounds of Jose Cuervo, that band was sounding pretty darn good to me 
 
(repeat chord pattern) 
Then some stranger asked me to dance, and I revealed to her me two left feet 
Said don't get me wrong I'm glad you asked but tonight's about me and an old  
memory, but after 
Three rounds of Jose Cuervo, I let her lead me out on the floor, and after 
Four rounds of Jose Cuervo, I was showing off moves never seen before 
 
Bridge 
(same progression) 
Well around Five around Six, I forgot what I came to forget 
And after round Seven or was it Eight, I bought around for the whole dang  
place, but after 
 
Nine rounds of Jose Cuervo, they were countin me out and I was about to give  
in, and after 
Ten Rounds of JOSE CUERVO....I lost count and started again, and after 
 
(START THE COUNTDOWN AGAIN LEAVING OUT THE STORY, AND DON'T STOP UNTIL  
EVERYONE IS SINGING ALONG..OR THE BOTTLE GOES DRY)
