Tom : Am
Dm Em G Am
I've been a moonshiner for seventeen long years
Dm Em G Am
I spent all my money on whiskey and beer
Am F G Am
I go to some holler and put up my still
Dm Em G Am
I'll make you one gallon for a two dollar bill
[Instrumental]
Dm Em G Am
[Verse]
Dm Em G Am
I go to some grocery and drink with my friends
Dm Em G Am
No women to follow to see what I spend
Am F G Am
God bless those women I wish they were mine
Dm Em G Am
Their breath smells as sweet as the dew on the vine
[Instrumental]
Dm Em G Am
[Verse]
Dm Em G Am
I'll eat when I'm hungry and drink when I'm dry
Dm Em G Am
If moonshine don't kill me I'll live till I die
Am F G Am
God bless those moonshiners, I wish they were mine
Dm Em G Am
Their breath smells as sweet as the good ol' moonshine
[Verse]
Dm Em G Am
I might go to heaven, I might go to hell
Dm Em G Am
Till I meet my maker don't know where I'll dwell
Am F G Am
If He likes jug whiskey, I'll live in the sky
Dm Em G Am
High up on the mountain with some sweet moonshine
