Whiskey Fever

E    A   E   G  D  E

E
Got a whiskey drinking fever that I cannnot shake
E
And those girls downtown are more than I can take
A
High-waisted rockies and the sailor's mouths
        E
And the boys at the back of the bar scream loud

G           D             E
Oh, whiskey river take me home

E
And I smell like cologne and cigarettes
E
But I ain't found a lady or a bar fight yet
A
I'll wait around just to stir shit up
     E
That whiskey river flowing ain't ever enough

G           D             E
Oh, whiskey river take me home

E
'Cause I'm a heavy-drinking hard-hitting good ol' boy
E
There ain't a man in this county that you keep me employed
A
Can't stay sober past 11 a.m
   E
My breath smells like my regrets again

G           D             E
Oh, whiskey river take me home

E       N.C.
I had a woman in Wisconsin, and a woman in Maine
N.C.
But they told me that they'd never love a man so insane
A      N.C.
I head to Oklahoma with the flask and a comb
      E
Do my best to find another place I can roam

G           D             E
Oh, whiskey river take me home

E
There was no one in town that would give me a ride
E
So I waited for my heavy drunkenness to subside
A
Stole a pick-up truck from a gas station pump
  E
I pray to the Lord for a run of good luck

G           D             E
Oh, whiskey river take me home

E    A   E   G  D  E

E    A   E   G  D  E

E
And I was four hundred miles down Highway 10
E
All of a sudden I was arrested again
     A
They told me eight years in the county pen
         E
Or eight years in the army killing evil men

G           A             E
Oh, whiskey river take me home

E
Now there's sand in my boots
E
Sand in my eyes
E
Sand everywhere that sand can hide
A
How I miss those downtown girls
         E
And that whiskey river that ruined my world
G         D              E
Oh, Uncle Sam I wanna go home

E
I had a whiskey drinking fever that I could not shake
E
And those girls downtown were more than I could take
    A
The high-waisted rockies and the sailor's mouths
E
Boys in the back of the bar screaming loud

G           D             E
Oh, whiskey river take me home
G           D                E
Oh, whiskey river I wanna go home
N.C.
(That take ripped)
N.C.
(That take fucking ripped dude)
