Intro: G D E D 4X
G D G D
My life holds just two loves so true
G D
But combined they put me in a stew
C D A D
See my first love is whiskey in a jar, and the second this six string guitar
C G
But you can’t play guitar and drink whiskey
C A D
Whether singing in that or in this key
C G A F#m
It could all be so grand if I had a third hand
D G
But my doctors decreed that too risky
Instrumental: E
A E
I adore working with wood in my shop
A E
But my fingers I’d rather not chop
D A
So I make sure the tools are turned off
Bm E
Before I know back my first quaff
D A
No wood work and whiskey don’t mix
Bm E
Ain’t no drinking while milling up sticks
D F#m E D A
So I put down my jig and I’ll have my first swig, for whiskey is why my heart ticks
Instrumental: A GDE D
G D E D
In times when my plan goes off course
G D
I’ll go have a good think on my horse
C G
I could meditate in the sattle for hours
A D
If I could just drink and ride flowers. My horses name is flowers
C G
But you can’t ride a horse and drink scotch
C A D
Tis a chore your most likely to botch
C G E F#m
Taint a drink that’s spill proof and with flowers in good hoof
D G
You’ll get a puddle of booze in your crotch
Instrumental: E
A E A
Now the moral of the story I got
E A E
If you want some wood or a song or a trot
D A
You must diligently do those things first
Bm E
Than at liberty shake thy thirst
D A
Don’t dally with you whiskey glass
Bm E
For its true rewards can’t be surpassed
D F#m
Sonny don’t hesitate, raise a glass with your mate
E A
Or if you lucky a glass with your lass
