[Intro]
 G   D   C   G   Am(hammer on)
GWell me and my lady had our fD/F#irst big fight,
EmSo I drove around till I saw the nDeon lights,
                      Cadd9                        G   Am(hammer 2nd string)
At a corner bar, and it just seemed right, so I pulled up,
GNot a soul around but the ol' D/F#barkeep,
EmDown at the end lookin haDlf asleep,
                      Cadd9                        G   Am(hammer on)
But he walked up and said what'll it be? I said the Good Stuff,
CHe didn't reach around for the wDhiskey, Che didn't pour me a Dbeer,
CHis blue eyes kinda went Dmisty,
CSaid you can't find thaAmt heDre,
'Cause Git's the first long kiss on a sDecond date
EmMamma's all worried when you gGet home late
Cadd9And droppin' the ring in the Gspaghetti plate,
Cadd9'Cause your hands are shaking so mCuchD  
ItG's the way she looks with rDice in her hair
EmEatin' burnt suppers the whGole first year
Cadd9And askin' for seconds, to kGeep her from tCadd9earin' uCp,
                     D        G     D   Am(hammer on)
Yeah man, that's the Good Stuff
GHe grabbed a carton of milk aD/F#nd poured a glass,
EmI smiled and said, I'll have some Gof that,
                        Cadd9                    G   Am(hammer on)
  We sat there and talked as an hour passed, like old friends
GSaw a black and white picture D/F#and it caught my stare,
EmWas a pretty girl with boGuffant hair,
                      Cadd9                         G   Am(hammer on)
He said that's my Bonnie, taken 'bout a year after we wed,
CHe said, I spent 5 years in the Dbottle,
When the Ccancer took her from Dme,
CI've been sober for 3 years nDow.
Cadd9'Cause the one thing stronger than the Cwhiskey Amwas,
GWas the sight of her holdin' D/F#my baby girl
EmThe way she adored that string of Gpearls
Cadd9I gave her the day that our yGoungest boy, Earl
