^A Black powder and alcohol, ^D When the states and the cities fall, ^G When your back is ^Eagainst the wall ^A Black powder and alcohol.

^A Gimme charcoal to the measure two ^F Send the bullet where you want it to. ^D Gimme sulphur to the measure three ^A Make the powder gonna keep you free. ^G Gimme saltpeter,^E measure fifteen ^A Sweetest shooting that you've ever seen!

[Chorus]

^A Black powder and alcohol, ^D When the states and the cities fall, ^G When your back is ^Eagainst the wall ^A Black powder and alcohol.

^A Gimme water, yeast, and veggie trash ^F Leave it sitting in the slurry mash. ^D When it's ready, put it in the still ^A If you can't heat it, then the sunlight will. ^G Draw the alcohol^E away, and then ^A Put the slurry back, and start again!

[Chorus]

^A Black powder and alcohol, ^D When the states and the cities fall, ^G When your back is ^Eagainst the wall ^A Black powder and alcohol.

^A Booze'll clean your cuts, or run your car. ^F You can make it anywhere you are. ^D Black powder in your cartridge shell ^A Will send your raiders running clean to Hell. ^G You can make em ^Eif you just know how. ^A So kids, remember what I'm teaching you now!

[Chorus]

^A Black powder and alcohol, ^D When the states and the cities fall, ^G When your back is ^Eagainst the wall ^A Black powder and alcohol. ^A Black powder and alcohol, ^D When the states and the cities fall, ^G When your back is ^Eagainst the wall ^A Black powder and alcohol.
