Tuning: E A D G B E
[Intro] G D E [Chorus]
EI got a whiskey drinkin' fever that I cannot shake EAnd the girls downtown were more than I can take AmI miss those rocky seas and their sailor smiles EAnd the boys in the back of the bar screaming loud
[Refrain]
G*Oh wD*hiskey river take me Ehome [Verse]
EWell I smell like cologne and cigarettes EAin't found a lady or a barfight yet AmI wait around just to stir shit up EThat whiskey river flowing ain't never enough
[Refrain]
G*Oh wD*hiskey river take me Ehome [Verse]
ECause I'm a heavy hittin' heart drinking good-ole boy EAin't a man in this county that can keep me in board AmCan't stay sober past eleven a.m. EMy breath smells like my regrets again
[Refrain]
G*Oh wD*hiskey river take me Ehome [Verse]
EGot a woman in Wisconsin and a woman in Maine EThey told me they never loved a man so insane AmSo I head to Oklahoma with a flask and a comb EDo my best to find another place I can roam
[Refrain]
G*Oh wD*hiskey river take me Ehome [Fiddle Solo]
[Verse]
EThere was no one in town that would give me a ride ESo I waited for my heavy drunken mist to subside AmStole a pickup truck from a gas station pump EThen I prayed to the lord for a run of good luck
[Refrain]
G*Oh wD*hiskey river take me Ehome [Verse]
EFour hundred miles down Highway Ten EAll the sudden I was arrested again AmTold me eight years in the county pen EOr eight years in the army killing evil
[Refrain]
G*Oh wD*hiskey river take me Ehome [Verse]
ENow there's sand in my boots ESand in my eyes ESand everywhere that sand can hide AmHow I miss those downtown girls EAnd that whiskey river, that ruined my world
[Refrain]
G*Oh wD*hiskey river take me Ehome [Chorus]
EI got a whiskey drinkin' fever that I cannot shake EAnd those girls downtown were more than I can take AmI miss the rocky seas and the sailors smiles EAnd the boys in the back of the bar screamin' loud
[Refrain]
G*Oh D*whiskey river take me Ehome [Fiddle Solo]
[Chorus]
E*I got a whiskey drinkin' fever that I couldn't shake N.C. And those girls downtown were more than I can take N.C. I miss the rocky seas and the sailors smiles N.C. And the boys in the back of the bar screamin' loud
[Outro]
G*Oh D*whiskey river take me Ehome G*Oh D*whiskey river take me E*home
