TUNE DOWN 1 STEP DGCFAd
Intro: Em
Verse 1:
My EmDaddy played poker in the woods they say,
Gback in his younger days
AProhibition was the talk,
but the rich folks walked to the Emwoods where my Daddy stayed
Verse 2:
EmJugs and jars from shiners, these old bGoys here, they ain't miners
They Acame from the twenty-niners
It didn't take a Emhole in the ground to put the bottom in their face
Em G A Em
Verse 3:
EmBack in the thirties when the dust bowl dried
And the Gwoods in Alabama didn't see no light
My Daddy Aplayed poker by a hard wood fire
EmSqueezing all his luck from a hot copper wire
EmScrap like a wildcat fights till the end
GTrap a wildcat and take his skin
ADeal from the bottom, put the ace in the hole
Em
One hand on the jug but you never do know D A C G
Chorus1
DSon come running
AYou better come quick
CThis rotgut moonshine is Gmaking me sick
DYour Mama called the law and they're gonnaA take me away
CDown so far even the DGevil won't stay
Verse 4:
EmWhere I call to the Lord with all my soul
GI can hear him rattling the chains on the door
AHe couldn't get in I could see he tried
EmThrough the shadows of the cage around the 40 watt light
Chorus2
DDaddy tell me another story
ATell me about the lows and the highs
CTell me how to tell the difference between what they teGll me is the truth
or a lie
DTell me why the ones who have so much make the ones who don't go mAad
CWith the same skin stretched over their white bones and the same jGug in
their hand
EmMy Daddy played poker on a stump in the woods Gback when the world was gray
ABefore black and white went and chose up sides and gEmave a little bit of both their way
The only blood that's any cleaner is the bGlood that's blue or greener
AWithout either you just get meaner and the Emblood you gave gives you away
D A C G
Chorus1

CDown so far even the GDevil won't stay
EmWhere I call to the Lord with all my soul
