Intro.:
G                           D
Well me and my lady had our first big fight,
C                                G
So I drove around till I saw the neon lights,
C                        G                        C G C
At a corner bar, and it just seemed right, so I pulled up,
G                              D
Not a soul around but the ol' barkeep,
C                       G
Down at the end lookin half asleep,
C                          G                          C G C
But he walked up and said what'll it be? I said the Good Stuff,
C                               D       C                    D
He didn't reach around for the whiskey, He didn't pour me a beer,
C                        D
His blue eyes kinda went misty,
C
Said you can't find that here,
      G                              D
Cause it's the first long kiss on a second date
C                            G
Mamma's all worried when you get home late
     C                        G
And droppin the ring in the spaghetti plate,
C           G                    C     D
Cause your hands are shaking so much
   G                         D
It's the way she looks with rice in her hair
C                        G
Eatin burnt suppers the whole first year
C                          G                 C G C
And askin for seconds, to keep her from tearin up,
     D               G  D C G C
Yeah man that's the Good Stuff
G                                D
He grabbed a carton of milk and poured a glass
C                       G
I smiled and said I'll have some of that
C                              G                    C G C
We sat there and talked as an hour passed like ol' friends
G                                     D
Saw a black and white picture and it caught my stare
C                               G
Was a pretty girl with bouffant hair
        C                  G                         C G C
He said that's my Bonnie, takin bout a year after we wed
        C                        D               C                   D
He said spent five years in the bottle when the cancer took her from me
     C                          D
I've been sober for three years now,
     C              G                 C     D
Cause the one thing stronger than the whiskey was the
     G                    D
The sight of her holdn my baby girl
     C                   G
The way she adored that string of pearls
   C                         G
I gave her the day that our youngest boy Earl
C                 G        C    D
Married his high school love
G                             D
And it's a new T-shirt sayin I'm a Grand Pa
C                                 G
Being right there as our time got small
    C                           G                C G C
And holding her hand, when the good lord called her up
     D               G D C G C
Yeah man that's the Good Stuff
  G    D       C      G      C       D      G
He said when you get home she'll start to cry
      D                      G
When she says I'm sorry, say so am I
     G    D           C      D       C
And look into those eyes so deep in love
     D
And drink it up
       G               D   C G C
Cause that's the Good Stuff
 G          D       C G C
That's the Good Stuff
