Verse 1:
   G+G     C majorC
I've been a moonshiner
          G+G
For seventeen long years
   D MajorD      E minorEm
I've spent all my money
        D MajorD
On whiskey and beer
   D7D7     G+G
I'll go to some hollow
     G/EG/E  D MajorD
And set up my still
     B minorBm     C majorC
And I'll sell you a gallon
   A minorAm     D7/D  D7/C  D7/B   D7/A
For a ten dollar bill

Then I'll go to a bar room
And drink with my friends
Where the women can't follow
And see what I spend
God bless them pretty women
I wish one was mine
Because their breath is as sweet
As the dew on the vine

Give me food when I'm hungry
Give me drink when I'm dry
A augmentedA dollar when I'm hard up
Religion when I die (and only then)
If this whole world's a bottle
And life's but a dram
When the bottle is empty
It sure ain't worth a damn

I've been a moonshiner
For seventeen long years
I've spent all my money
On whiskey and beer
I'll go to some hollow
And set up my still
If the whiskey don't kill me
 A minorAm       D MajorD
I don't know what will
