G He drank whiskey for his liver, G Smoked cigarettes for his lungs, G He loved women for his ego C G he died a rounder at twenty one
Verse 1
C G He wouldn't work down at the saw mill C G he couldn't stand that hot sunshine G He had twenty one years of real life C G he lived a thousand in that time
Verse 2
G One night when the blues had got him, G He must have drank three fifths of rum... G He got mean as hell when I told him C G he wouldn't live past twenty one C G And if a man ever hit me harder C G well I don't know where or when G He picked me up off that old bar floor C G he said I'd shore like to be your friend Instrumental Breakdown (20 bass notes)
Verse 3
G One night I saw him talkin' G To an old man at the bar G He said Daddy, oh I love you, C G I just don't like where you are C G Well tell Mama to turn my lights on, C G turn down that feather bed. G I'll be twenty one tomorrow C G but tomorrow, he was dead.
Verse 4
G It's twenty one miles to that graveyard, G where Twenty one roses red, G They told the story of that rounder C G who at twenty one he was dead....
Chorus
G He drank whiskey for his liver G He Smoked cigarettes for his lungs G He loved the women for his ego C G He died a rounder at twenty one C G He died a rounder at tweeeeeeeeenty one.
