Intro:  E   A   B   E  (2x)
        (Cheevah!)

Verse 1:
      E                 A
I'm a hard born whiskey drinker
       B                          E
Yeah a night life & bar room deep thinker
E                          A
I wasn't cut for the sunny days
           B            E
I need the decay of the alleyways

Verse 2:
So all you pretty sons of b***hes
With your happy blue skies smiling hearts
Go on and dance in the sunshine
I'd rather stay here in the dark


Chorus:
     A                 E
'Cus I let the whiskey pour
     B                     E
When weaker men say let it go
     A                  E
Yeah I never learned my lesson
         B               E
On those rot gut whiskey sessions


Verse 3:
You hold your cards like money
Maybe you've got more to lose than me
I bet it all on the table
Let the dealer deal what he please

Verse 4:
If I'm high rollin' or busted
I'll still hold on to my nerve
And if all I ever get is older & dead
Well I still got more than I deserve


CHORUS


Solo:  E  A  B  E  (2x)

Verse 5:
I spent my youth on cocaine
Cheevah, pretty w***es and Jim Beam
All of these sweet things I've tasted
I thank the Lord my life ain't been wasted


CHORUS (2x)

Outro:  E  A  B  E  (2x)
