Tom: G
G C G
My mama drank scotch whiskey and my daddy drank Jim Beam
G D
I was conceived just outside of New Orleans
G C
Told my ma he loved her while Elvin Bishop played
G D G
Daddy'd be the worst mistake my mama ever made
[Chorus]
C G
I'm a son of the bourbon, I'm a son of a bitch
G A D
I'm a dyin' breed of rock 'n' roll left ass up in a ditch
G C
I've been up against the law, I've served some time in jail
G D G
I've been known for gettin' stoned, and raised my share of hell
[Verse 2]
G C G
They went back to Alabama one cold October day
G D
as soon as I was born, my daddy up and ran away
G C
We got by on getting by, we live from week to week
G D G
As long as I got two good hands, I'll work to earn my keep
[Chorus]
C G
I'm a son of the bourbon, I'm a son of a bitch
G A D
I'm a dyin' breed of rock 'n' roll left ass up in a ditch
G C
I've been up against the law, I've served some time in jail
G D G
I've been known for gettin' stoned, I've raised my share of hell
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
G C G
My mama drank scotch whiskey and my daddy drank Jim Beam
G D
I was conceived just outside of New Orleans
G C
When my life is over and my time has come to pass
G D G
Bury me upside down so the world can kiss my ass
[Chorus]
C G
I'm a son of the bourbon, I'm a son of a bitch
G A D
I'm a dyin' breed of rock 'n' roll left ass up in a ditch
G C
I've been up against the law, I've served some time in jail
G D G
I've been known for gettin' stoned, I've raised my share of hell
G D C G
I've been known for gettin' stoned, I've raised my share of hell
