When you try to drown a memory from your mind
           F
It took me fifteen beers to get here
        Bb
I don't know how many more till I leave
        F                   C7            F     Bb  F
Take my change in tears and drink fifteen beers

Well I rolled into Joe's about six-fifteen
          Bb
And I was ready to pour 'em down
           F                                      C7
Because at eight o'clock Delilah was a-meeting me there
                   F
Well I thought I'd have me a pour just to loosen up
              Bb
Cause we were really gonna swing tonight
        F                        C7                 F    Bb  F 
I could already see her face and touch her long red hair


        F
Well at nine thirty-five I thought man a live
Bb
What could be a-holding her up
            F
Just then a man in a long black Cadillac came in
         C7
And told little Joe filler up
             F
While he was cleaning off the windows and guess who he saw
       Bb
In the back laying soft as rain
       F        C7              F
It was Delilah  sipping on pink champagne


                       F G Ab Bb                         F
I drank fifteen beers that's a whole lot of brew for one man
                                         C7
When you try to drown a memory from your mind
           F
It took me fifteen beers to forget you
        Bb
I don't know how many more to just get
               F            C7                    F
While he holds Delilah near I'll drink my fifteen beers


F                       F G Ab Bb                       F
