G                        C                       D                      G
A moonshiner's life is a hell of a life when you got those moonshiner's blues

G                                 C
Yeah you're always on the run and can't trust no one

D                                         G
When you're making that good ol' mountain dew

G                        C
A moonshiner's life is a hell of a life

D                             G
When you ain't got nothing to lose.

G                            C
Late in the night, when that moon is shining bright,

         D                      G
He'll be working on a batch for you.
[Instrumental] G C D G (x4) [Verse 2]
G                             C
Well a moonshiner's life is a damn good life

D                               G
'Cause he ain't got no big city blues

G                                 C
yeah he's living off the land and don't need Uncle Sam

D                   G
To help him make it through

G                        C
A moonshiner's life is a hell of a life

D                                  G
When he's fighting the law for his booze

G                            C
Late in the night, when that moon is shining bright,

D                            G
He'll be bringing a batch to you
[Instrumental] G C D G (x2) [Bridge]

He got popped with nine hundred gallon and I'm sure they took snort or two

G
He had those east Tennessee moonshiner's blues
