[Intro]
G E7 Am7 D7
[Verse]
G E7
It's been a long day since I woke up
Am7 D7
Spilled the Allsups coffee in my pickup truck
G E7
Was headed to work, when on my drive
Am7 D7
I got a ticket going 60 in a 55
G E7
Clocked in for a job, that I can't stand
Am7 D7
I'm on the verge of quitting or getting canned
G E7
I'll be so damn glad when this day is through
Am D7
When I get home I know just what I'll do
[Chorus]
G G#dim
Go grab a cup
Am7 D7
Rim it with salt
G G#dim
Pull down the vodka
Am D7
And pour in a shot
C D
Pop a top of Topo Chico
G E7
Only one thing left to put in
Am D7
Yeah, when life gives you lemons
G E7 Am7 D7
Make you a Chilton
[Verse 2]
G G#dim
All of your worry and all of your trouble
Am7 D7
Will be gone after one so just make it double
G G#dim
That's when it hit will ya this revelation
Am7 D7
This drink might be man's finest creation
G
When your heart is aching
G#dim
Or the sun is baking
Am7 D7
Or the tax man comes once more for the taking
G
When it's quitting time
G#dim
You're feeling thirsty
Am7 D7
It's 5 o'clock somewhere or maybe 10:30
[Chorus 2]
G G#dim
Go grab a cup
Am7 D7
Rim it with salt
G G#dim
Pull down the vodka
Am D7
And pour in a shot
C D
Pop a top of Topo Chico
G E7
Only one thing left to put in
Am D7
Yeah, when life gives you lemons
G E7 Am7 D7
Make you a Chilton
[Bridge]
G E7
Now here's what you do
Am
You keep it simple stupid you just follow the instructions
D7 G
Get a cup or a glass and some ice cubes
E7
Pour in a little Topo Chico add salt
Am7 D7
And 3 fingers of vodka
G
Texan, Russian well maybe not Russian
E7
But you get the point
Am7 D7
Now most importantly grab some lemons
G E7
Squeeze half a lemon squeeze a whole lemon
Am7
Hell go crazy squeeze two whole lemons
D7
Mix it all up and enjoy
[Verse 3]
G
So when you're burned out on beer
G#dim
The whiskey ain't working
Am7
The wine is fine
D7
But it just leaves you hurting
G
When you're tired of tequila
G#dim
All out of rum
Am7 D7
I'll tell u what we do where I come from
[Chorus 3]
G G#dim
Go grab a cup
Am7 D7
Rim it with salt
G G#dim
Pull down the vodka
Am D7
And pour in a shot
C D
Pop a top of Topo Chico
G E7
Only one thing left to put in
Am D7
Yeah, when life gives you lemons
G E7
Make you a Chilton
Am D7
Yeah, when life gives you lemons
G G#dim Am7 D7
Make you a Chilton
G G#dim Am7 D7 G
