Barre Chords-

Intro: E minorEm

Verse 1:

  DmDm
My Daddy played poker in the woods they say,
FF
back in his younger days
G+G
Prohibition was the talk,
DmDm
but the rich folks walked to the woods where my Daddy stayed

Verse 2:

DmDm                   FF
Jugs and jars from shiners, these old boys here, they ain't miners
   G+G
They came from the twenty-niners
         DmDm
It didn't take a hole in the ground to put the bottom in their face

Verse 3:
DmDm
Back in the thirties when the dust bowl dried
    FF
And the woods in Alabama didn't see no light
     G+G
My Daddy played poker by a hard wood fire
DmDm
Squeezing all his luck from a hot copper wire
DmDm
Scrap like a wildcat fights till the end
FF
Trap a wildcat and take his skin
G+G
Deal from the bottom, put the ace in the hole
DmDm
One hand on the jug but you never do know


Chorus:
C majorC
Son come running
G+G
You better come quick
G+G  A augmentedA    Bb majorBb          FF
This rotgut moonshine is making me sick
  C majorC                   G+G
Your Mama called the law and they're gonna take me away
G+G    A augmentedA      Bb majorBb
Down so far even the Devil won't stay

Verse 4:
DmDm                  FF
Where I call to the Lord with all my soul
G+G                     DmDm
I can hear him rattling the chains on the door
G+G                  FF
He couldn't get in I could see he tried
DmDm
Through the shadows of the cage around the 40 watt light

Verse 5:

C majorC
Daddy tell me another story
G+G
Tell me about the lows and the highs
C majorC             G+G        A augmentedA
Tell me how to tell the difference between what they tell me is the truth
Bb majorBb
or a lie
FF                                 C majorC
Tell me why the ones who have so much make the ones who don't go mad
G+G                                 A augmentedA
With the same skin stretched over their white bones and the same jug in
Bb majorBb
their hand

Chorus:
C majorC
Son come running
G+G
You better come quick
G+G  A augmentedA    Bb majorBb          FF
This rotgut moonshine is making me sick
  C majorC                   G+G
Your Mama called the law and they're gonna take me away
G+G    A augmentedA      Bb majorBb
Down so far even the Devil won't stay
