Whiskey Fever Live Chords

Performance: Ryman 02.10.22 🎸 Intro: G D E 🎸 Chorus: E I got a whiskey drinkin' fever that I cannot shake E And the girls downtown were more than I can take Am I miss those rocky seas and their sailor smiles E And the boys in the back of the bar screaming loud 🎸 Refrain:

G* D* E Oh whiskey river take me home 🎸 Verse : E Well I smell like cologne and cigarettes E Ain't found a lady or a barfight yet Am I wait around just to stir shit up E That whiskey river flowing ain't never enough 🎸 Refrain: G* D* E Oh whiskey river take me home 🎸 Verse : E Cause I'm a heavy hittin' heart drinking good-ole boy E Ain't a man in this county that can keep me in board Am Can't stay sober past eleven a.m. E My breath smells like my regrets again 🎸 Refrain: G* D* E Oh whiskey river take me home 🎸 Verse : E Got a woman in Wisconsin and a woman in Maine E They told me they never loved a man so insane Am So I head to Oklahoma with a flask and a comb E Do my best to find another place I can roam 🎸 Refrain: G* D* E Oh whiskey river take me home Fiddle 🎸 Solo: 🎸 Verse : E There was no one in town that would give me a ride E So I waited for my heavy drunken mist to subside Am Stole a pickup truck from a gas station pump E Then I prayed to the lord for a run of good luck 🎸 Refrain: G* D* E Oh whiskey river take me home 🎸 Verse : E Four hundred miles down Highway Ten E All the sudden I was arrested again Am Told me eight years in the county pen E Or eight years in the army killing evil 🎸 Refrain: G* D* E Oh whiskey river take me home 🎸 Verse : E Now there's sand in my boots E Sand in my eyes E Sand everywhere that sand can hide Am How I miss those downtown girls E And that whiskey river, that ruined my world 🎸 Refrain: G* D* E Oh whiskey river take me home 🎸 Chorus: E I got a whiskey drinkin' fever that I cannot shake E And those girls downtown were more than I can take Am I miss the rocky seas and the sailors smiles E And the boys in the back of the bar screamin' loud 🎸 Refrain: G* D* E Oh whiskey river take me home Fiddle 🎸 Solo: 🎸 Chorus: E* I got a whiskey drinkin' fever that I couldn't shake N.C.
