Riot – Whiskey Man (Guitar)

Em
Woke up behind the steering wheel

C/E
wonder if I've gone too far

C#/E
Quick shiver, cross against the light,

C/E
A curse from a cab in a strange tongue.

Em
Leave my wheels, better let them rest.

C/E
The keys like ice in my shaking hands,

C#/E
from the neon haze to the bar stool maze,

C/E
The nightlife, it sure is a strange one...

C                     A/C#
It's a son of a bitch, when I get that itch,

D   B/D#           Em   C B
and here it comes again

Em
Please call me Whiskey Man,

Bm                C     D     Em
when the bottle's in my hand.

Em
Hello, it's Whiskey Man!

B,              C     D     Em
Another shot at my command.

Em
Feel old but you say I don't look it, yet.

C/E
Work so hard trying to hide the miles.

C#/E
A seekers path, I'm on the heels of glory.

C/E
All paths of glory only lead to the grave.

Em
Sweet glory's dancing on yours,

C/E
she's always one step ahead.

C#/E
Well I know that, I'm still ridin' anyway,

C/E
a mind is a terrible thing to save

C                     A/C#
It's a son of a bitch, when I get that itch,

D   B/D#           Em   C B
and here it comes again

Em
Please call me Whiskey Man,

Bm                C     D     Em C D
when the bottle's in my hand.

Em
Hello, it's Whiskey Man!

B,              C     D     Em C D
Another shot at my command.

         G                        C
It was a fine idea long ago, in a time of fine ideas,

         D                              Em
when the August night would last into forever.

      G
So we broke the glass and hit the gas

          C
while the Summer filled the trees.

       D
In the day, we two, we were breaking through,

        Em                G D C B
and not dying by degrees.

C                       A/C#
Like I'm trying to say, wash it all away,

D   B/D#       Em   C B
and here I go again

Em
Hello, it's Whiskey Man!

B,              C     D     Em C D
Another shot at my command.

Em
Please call me Whiskey Man,

Bm                C     D     Em C D
when the bottle's in my hand.

Em
Hello, it's Whiskey Man!

B,              C     D     Em C D
Another shot at my command.

Em
Please call me Whiskey Man,

Bm                C     D     Em C D B C Em
when the bottle's in my hand.
