[Intro]

Dm Em G Am

[Verse]

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

[Outro]

Dm Em G Am
