Whiskey

C#m   A   F#m   B   E

[Verse 1]

B                           A     Asus2
My family's always been in whiskey
A       B                          E    Esus4
It's a simple honest way to earn a dime
B                                 A
The only trouble's been my Uncle Sam now
A        B                               E   Esus4
He been trying to collect taxes all the time

[Verse 2]

B                           A   Asus2
Now this ain't no ordinary Chevy
A    B                              E   Esus4 E
The motor and suspension ain't the same
B                            A    Asus2
Whiskey as you know is very heavy
A    B                                    E   Esus4 E
And getting through is what they call the game

[Chorus]

       C#m
It's a dark and rainy night
        A                F#m
But my engine's running right
       B                             E  Esus4 E
And I hope to get to Memphis before dawn
         C#m
Yeah and if  I make it through
       A               F#m
Gonna save what I have to
          B                            E  Esus4 E
It ain't healthy running whiskey very long

[Verse 3]

B                                 A     Asus2
Three hundred miles from home to Memphis
A          B                  E  Esus4 E
There's a dozen men along the way
B                             A     Asus2
Never stop and let 'em do no looking
A      B                             E  Esus4 E
Yeah, that was what my pappy used to say

[Chorus]

       C#m
It's a dark and rainy night
        A                F#m
But my engine's running right
       B                             E  Esus4 E
And I hope to get to Memphis before dawn
         C#m
Yeah and if  I make it through
       A               F#m
Gonna save what I have to
          B                            E  Esus4 E
It ain't healthy running whiskey very long

E            B                              A      Asus2
Oh there's three hundred miles from home to Memphis
A    B                              E Esus4 E
And Susan says she don't want me to go
B                               A     Asus2
She said, now honey don't take chances
A   B                                  E  Esus4 E
Ah love I want to keep you, don't you know

[Chorus]

       C#m

And I hope to get to Memphis before dawn
         C#m

[Outro]

E            B                            A  F#m
Oh it ain't healthy running whiskey very looong
          B                            E   Esus4 E
It ain't healthy running whiskey very long
