The Whiskey Song

Mark David Manders


This guitar sure sounds sweeter when you're drinking that old whiskey 
And it ain't been out of tune in a long, long while 
And from the looks you're giving me I can tell you're getting frisky 
And you know what it takes to make me smile 

And I ain't much on old love songs 
Hurting songs and drinking's more my style 
And I never say forever 'cause forever's just too damn long 
But I could hang with you for a while 

(same chord progression in the next verse and chorus) 

When I was a young man I came across some money 
Through it all away on a long shot bet 
But now I'm working steady, and since I met you, Honey 
There's few things in life that I regret 

And I ain't much on old love songs 
Hurting songs and drinking's more my style 
And I never say forever 'cause forever's just too damn long 
But I could hang with you for a while 

Manders himself told me these were the chords. 
Have fun.
