C 
Grab your purse  
                                G 
we're headed down the road 
                           D 
Where the whisper winds  
                        G 
will blow away your load 
                 C 
100 years of history's calling  
                G 
and I can't wait til night is falling

to bring me what I'm wanting

we're going up above the hills, my darling

A knife to cut the bottle cork 
C 
a raincoat keeps away the storm

I took the weekend off of work my darling

You say you can taste the whiskey 
G                                       D 
All soaked up in your cigarette 
G          C 
Well if there's one thing I know for certain 
                      G 
The whiskey takes away the hurtin'

Well take my hand 
          D7 
And put in your hand

C 
So let this fire  
Burn all through the night 
Write up your ma  
And write up your pa 
And tell em about our country flight

We might never make it back 
Awe that's good with me honey  
Hey if It's good with yooooou 
(Instrumental cut out)
