Whiskey Fever Live chords by Zach Bryan

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

E*
I got a whiskey drinkin' fever that I couldn't shake
N.C.
And those girls downtown were more than I can take
N.C.
I miss the rocky seas and the sailors smiles
N.C.
And the boys in the back of the bar screamin' loud

Oh whiskey river take me home
