Verse 1:
Dm
My Daddy played poker in the woods they say,
F
back in his younger days
G
Prohibition was the talk,
Dm
but the rich folks walked to the woods where my Daddy stayed
Verse 2:
Dm F
Jugs and jars from shiners, these old boys here, they ain't miners
G
They came from the twenty-niners
Dm
It didn't take a hole in the ground to put the bottom in their face
Verse 3:
Dm
Back in the thirties when the dust bowl dried
F
And the woods in Alabama didn't see no light
G
My Daddy played poker by a hard wood fire
Dm
Squeezing all his luck from a hot copper wire
Dm
Scrap like a wildcat fights till the end
F
Trap a wildcat and take his skin
G
Deal from the bottom, put the ace in the hole
Dm
One hand on the jug but you never do know
Chorus:
C
Son come running
G
You better come quick

This rotgut moonshine is making me sick
C G
Your Mama called the law and they're gonna take me away
G A Bb
Down so far even the Devil won't stay
Verse 4:
Dm F
Where I call to the Lord with all my soul
G Dm
I can hear him rattling the chains on the door
G F
He couldn't get in I could see he tried
Dm
Through the shadows of the cage around the 40 watt light
Verse 5:
C
Daddy tell me another story
G
Tell me about the lows and the highs
C G A
Tell me how to tell the difference between what they tell me is the truth
Bb
or a lie
F C
Tell me why the ones who have so much make the ones who don't go mad
G A
With the same skin stretched over their white bones and the same jug in
Bb
their hand
Chorus:
C
Son come running
G
You better come quick
G A Bb F
This rotgut moonshine is making me sick
C G
Your Mama called the law and they're gonna take me away
G A Bb
Down so far even the Devil won't stay
