Verse 1:

G
Rye whiskey makes the band sound better,
           C
Makes your baby cuter,
      G
Makes itself taste sweeter, oh boy!

Rye whiskey makes your heart beat louder,

Makes your voice seem softer,
                              D
Makes the back room hotter oh but


Chorus 1:
                   E
Rye thoughts aren't good thoughts boys
                                      G
Have I ever told you about the time I...


[Instrumental break]


Verse 2:

G
Rye whiskey wraps your troubles up
              C
Into a bright blue package,
       G
Ties a bow around it, oh boy!

Just throw it on the pile in the corner, see,
                                             D
You're not alone in not being alone tonight, but

               E

                                      G
Have I ever told you about the time I...


[Instrumental break]


Verse 3:

G
I used to wake up bright and early,
       C
Got my work done quickly,
        G
Held my baby tightly, oh boy!

Rye whiskey makes the sun set faster,
                                                     D
Makes the spirit more willing but the body weaker because


Chorus 3:

                E
Rye sleep isn't good sleep boys

Have I ever told you about the time I....


Bridge:

B                        C#
Took it and took her for granted?
      B                          C#
How I took it and took her for granted?
               B                          C#
So, let's take some and take them all for granted.


[Instrumental break in A (shift main riff up 1 step,
then go back and finish off in G with a vocal skat over it]
