Words and Music: Mark David Manders
(D)This guitar sure sounds (G)sweeter when you?re (A)drinking that old (D)whiskey
And (G)it ain?t been out of (A)tune in a long, long (D)while
(D)And from the looks you?re giving (G)me I can (A)tell you?re getting (D)frisky
And (G)you know what it (A)takes to make me (D)smile
(G)And I ain?t (A)much on old (D)love songs
(G)Hurting songs and (A)drinking?s more my (D)style
(G)And I never say (A)forever ?cause (D)forever?s just too damn (G)long
(G)But I could hang with (A)you for a (D)while
(same chord progression in the next verse and chorus)
When I was a young man I came across some money
Through it all away on a long shot bet
But now I?m working steady, and since I met you, Honey
There?s few things in life that I regret
And I ain?t much on old love songs
Hurting songs and drinking?s more my style
And I never say forever ?cause forever?s just too damn long
But I could hang with you for a while
Manders himself told me these were the chords.
Have fun.
