Son Of The Bourbon

    G                                C               G
My mama drank scotch whiskey and my daddy drank Jim Beam
G                                      D
I was conceived just outside of New Orleans
 G                                          C
Told my ma he loved her while Elvin Bishop played
 G                               D         G
Daddy'd be the worst mistake my mama ever made


[Chorus]
       C                         G
I'm a son of the bourbon, I'm a son of a bitch
       G                                A            D
I'm a dyin' breed of rock 'n' roll left ass up in a ditch
 G                                                      C
I've been up against the law, I've served some time in jail
 G                                      D                  G
I've been known for gettin' stoned, and raised my share of hell


[Verse 2]
 G                            C            G
They went back to Alabama one cold October day
    G                                       D
as soon as I was born, my daddy up and ran away
G                                              C
We got by on getting by, we live from week to week
    G                                  D               G
As long as I got two good hands, I'll work to earn my keep


[Chorus]
       C                         G
I'm a son of the bourbon, I'm a son of a bitch
       G                                A            D
I'm a dyin' breed of rock 'n' roll left ass up in a ditch
 G                                                      C
I've been up against the law, I've served some time in jail
 G                                       D                  G
I've been known for gettin' stoned, I've raised my share of hell

[Verse 3]
    G                                C               G
My mama drank scotch whiskey and my daddy drank Jim Beam
G                                      D
I was conceived just outside of New Orleans
 G                                            C
When my life is over and my time has come to pass
 G                          D                 G
Bury me upside down so the world can kiss my ass


[Chorus]
       C                         G
I'm a son of the bourbon, I'm a son of a bitch
       G                                A            D
I'm a dyin' breed of rock 'n' roll left ass up in a ditch
 G                                                      C
I've been up against the law, I've served some time in jail
 G                                       D                  G
I've been known for gettin' stoned, I've raised my share of hell

 G                                       D                  C       G
I've been known for gettin' stoned, I've raised my share of hell
