Adam Carroll - Ol' Milwaukee's Best
Capo 3rd fret
Lost my Gfirst wife to a woman,
Lost my Csecond to a Gman.
Lost my Cthird wife to my Gcousin,
Lost my Dfifth wife to my aunt.
Said you gotta Gtrain them girls like bulldogs, boys,
If you Cwanna keep 'em aGround.
I got a Ccase of Old MilGwaukee,
She won't Dnever let me Gdown.
Chorus:
I like to Cdrink 'em with my friends around.
I like to Gsuck 'em back till I hit the ground.
They're Dhere with me and 
They'll be here till the Emend.
Well the Cwife and the kids and the dogs are gone,
I Gcan't get Jesus Con the phone,
But GOld Milwaukee's DBest is my best Gfriend
They say Old Milwaukee ain't the best way
For the American boy to go.
I got a dually pickup truck,
I got ten miles of open road.
My windshield's marked with gravel
And my rearview is streaked with tears.
I got the pages of Larry Flint
To show me the honeys of the year.
Chorus
I like to Cdrink 'em with my friends around.
I like to Gsuck 'em back till I hit the ground.
They're Dhere with me and 
They'll be here till the Emend.
Well the Cwife and the kids and the dogs are gone,
I Gcan't get Jesus Con the phone,
But GOld Milwaukee's DBest is my best Gfriend
INSTRUMENTAL:
Oil prices are droppin' now,
And my third wife had enough of that.
She ran off to the holy land with Yassir Arafat.
He's got thirteen girls in a harem,
He's got carpets and bags and beads,
And I got a 12-pack of Old Milwaukee
I got one more trick up my sleeve.
Chorus
I like to Cdrink 'em with my friends around.
I like to Gsuck 'em back till I hit the ground.
They're Dhere with me and 
They'll be here till the Emend.
Well the Cwife and the kids and the dogs are gone,
I Gcan't get Jesus Con the phone,
But GOld Milwaukee's DBest is my best Gfriend
Well my daddy was a preacher
In church full of old outlaws.
I've got about as much fear of Satan
As I've got of Santa Claus.
And I've read the Revelations,
I'm not worried in the least.
I got three six-packs of Old Milwaukee
And the number of the beast
Chorus
I like to Cdrink 'em with my friends around.
I like to Gsuck 'em back till I hit the ground.
They're Dhere with me and 
They'll be here till the Emend.
Well the Cwife and the kids and the dogs are gone,
I Gcan't get Jesus Con the phone,
But GOld Milwaukee's DBest is my best Gfriend
   Em       D  GOld Milwaukee's DBest is my best Gfriend
