I Like Beer
Written and recorded by Tom T. Hall
E A E
In some of my songs I have casually mentioned
Bm
The fact that I like to drink beer
E A E
This little song is more to the point
F# Bm
So roll out the barrel and lend me your ear
Refrain:
A E
I like beer it makes me a jolly good fellow
A F#
I like beer it helps me unwind
Bm
And sometimes it makes me feel mellow (makes him feel mellow)
E A E
Whiskeys too rough champagne cost too much
A
Vodka puts my mouth in gear
A E C#
This little refrain should help me explain
F# Bm E
As a matter of fact I like beer
E A E
My wife often frowns when we're out on the town
Bm
And I'm wearing a suit and a tie
E A E
She's sipping vermouth and she thinks I'm uncouth
F# Bm
When I yell as the waiter goes by
[Repeat refrain]
E A E
Last night I dreamed that I passed from the scene
Bm
And I went to a place so sublime
E A E
The water was clear and it tasted like beer
F# Bm
Then they turned it all into wine (awwww)
[Repeat refrain]
