D                    A
Hemingway's whiskey, warm and smooth and mean

Even when it burns it'll always finish clean

He did not like it watered down, he took it straight up and neat

Hemingway's whiskey
[Verse 2]

You know it's tough out there, a good muse is hard to find

Living one word to the next, one line at a time

            D                                  A
Now there's more to life then whiskey, there's more to words than rhyme

Bm                       G
Sometimes nothing works, sometimes nothing shines

     D
Like Hemingway's whiskey

Sail away, sail away as the day grows dim

Live hard, die hard, this one's for him
