🎸 Chorus:

E MajorE
I got a whiskey drinkin' fever that I cannot shake
E MajorE
And the girls downtown were more than I can take
A minorAm
I miss those rocky seas and their sailor smiles
E MajorE
And the boys in the back of the bar screaming loud

🎸 Refrain:

G* D*          E MajorE
Oh whiskey river take me home

🎸 Verse :

E MajorE
Well I smell like cologne and cigarettes
E MajorE
Ain't found a lady or a barfight yet
A minorAm
I wait around just to stir shit up
E MajorE
That whiskey river flowing ain't never enough

🎸 Refrain:

G* D*          E MajorE
Oh whiskey river take me home


🎸 Verse :

E MajorE
Cause I'm a heavy hittin' heart drinking good-ole boy
E MajorE
Ain't a man in this county that can keep me in board
A minorAm
Can't stay sober past eleven a.m.
E MajorE
My breath smells like my regrets again

G* D*          E MajorE
Oh whiskey river take me home

🎸 Verse :

E MajorE
Got a woman in Wisconsin and a woman in Maine

They told me they never loved a man so insane
A minorAm
So I head to Oklahoma with a flask and a comb
E MajorE
Do my best to find another place I can roam

🎸 Verse :

E MajorE
There was no one in town that would give me a ride
E MajorE
So I waited for my heavy drunken mist to subside
A minorAm
Stole a pickup truck from a gas station pump
E MajorE
Then I prayed to the lord for a run of good luck

🎸 Refrain:

G* D*          E MajorE
Oh whiskey river take me home

E MajorE
Four hundred miles down Highway Ten
E MajorE
All the sudden I was arrested again
A minorAm
Told me eight years in the county pen
E MajorE
Or eight years in the army killing evil

G* D*          E MajorE
Oh whiskey river take me home


🎸 Verse :

E MajorE
Now there's sand in my boots
E MajorE
Sand in my eyes
E MajorE
Sand everywhere that sand can hide

How I miss those downtown girls
E MajorE
And that whiskey river, that ruined my world
