The Lord Loves The Drinkin' Man

Chorus: 
E                           -0-2-4-(E string)  

The Lord Loves the drinkin' man
         A
He sent honky tonk angels to the promised land
B
I hear that he can turn the water to wine
E
Any man that can do that oh he's a good friend of mine
          E7
I've been baptized in beer I'm here to testify
       A
I was speakin' in tongues when I came home last night
B
Some folks say I'm livin' in sin
       A             B         E
But I know the Lord loves the drinkin' man


Verse 1:
E                                                 E7
Well the preacher man he told me boy you ain't no good
     A                                               A7
The devil's gonna getcha best start actin' like you should
        B
Oh the cold beer and bright lights, stayin' out all night
E
Good book it tells me boy your soul's gonna burn
E                                             E7
Momma said son you're headin' down the wrong road
      A                                              A7
They don't let honky-tonkers up in Heaven I've been told
B
Don't you worry momma, I'll see you up in Heaven
E
I've been thinking bout it and I've come to this conclusion


CHORUS

Break: A  B  E


Verse 2:
Well my daddy said son you're livin' your life all wrong
Lightning's gonna strike you down before too long
The man upstairs, he don't like what you do
When you reach those pearly gates you ain't getting through
Well I've been thinking, got a brand new plan
I'm gonna start a little church down at the stumble-inn
Yeah that's right gonna start my own religion
We'll be drinkin' and a dancin' at the church of Hank Williams
