A  E  A  E

     A                         D            A
When they open the bar I'll be there on the stool
       A                     E
And forget all my cares in a hurry
    A                   D           A 
And it's my belief that I'll find relief
     A         E         A  
In a bottle of Tennessee courage


Her memory keeps waitin' in the light every night
Alone with the last of my always
But I'll never crawl, I can hold up the wall
With the help of some Tennessee courage


Chorus:
E                                      D           A
Now my good friend Jack Daniels stands tall on the shelf
    A                       E
And he'll go to war with my troubles
          D       E             A               D 
And he'll never desert this old friend when I'm hurt
    A            E         A
And needin' some Tennessee courage



Straight ninety proof can all turn to truth
The hair on your chest in a hurry
I know I'll survive, raise hell for awhile
With the help of some Tennessee courage


Chorus

Tag:
No he'll never desert this old friend when I'm hurt
And needin' some Tennessee courage
So pour me some Tennessee courage
