TUNE DOWN 1 STEP DGCFAd
Intro: Em
Verse 1:
Em My Daddy played poker in the woods they say, G back in his younger days A Prohibition was the talk, Em but the rich folks walked to the woods where my Daddy stayed
Verse 2:
Em G Jugs and jars from shiners, these old boys here, they ain't miners A They came from the twenty-niners Em It didn't take a hole in the ground to put the bottom in their face
Em G A Em
Verse 3:
Em Back in the thirties when the dust bowl dried G And the woods in Alabama didn't see no light A My Daddy played poker by a hard wood fire Em Squeezing all his luck from a hot copper wire Em Scrap like a wildcat fights till the end G Trap a wildcat and take his skin A Deal from the bottom, put the ace in the hole
Em
One hand on the jug but you never do know D A C G
Chorus1
D Son come running A You better come quick C G This rotgut moonshine is making me sick D A Your Mama called the law and they're gonna take me away C G Down so far even the Devil won't stay
Verse 4:
Em Where I call to the Lord with all my soul G I can hear him rattling the chains on the door A He couldn't get in I could see he tried Em Through the shadows of the cage around the 40 watt light
Chorus2
D Daddy tell me another story A Tell me about the lows and the highs C G Tell me how to tell the difference between what they tell me is the truth
or a lie
D A Tell me why the ones who have so much make the ones who don't go mad C G With the same skin stretched over their white bones and the same jug in
their hand
Em G My Daddy played poker on a stump in the woods back when the world was gray A Em Before black and white went and chose up sides and gave a little bit of both their way G The only blood that's any cleaner is the blood that's blue or greener A Em Without either you just get meaner and the blood you gave gives you away
D A C G
Chorus1
D Son come running A You better come quick C G This rotgut moonshine is making me sick D A Your Mama called the law and they're gonna take me away C G Down so far even the Devil won't stay Em Where I call to the Lord with all my soul G I can hear him rattling the chains on the door A He couldn't get in I could see he tried Em Through the shadows of the cage around the 40 watt light
Em G A Em
