THE DREAMIN’ -Tom Russell 

Am F C G 

Oh, whiskey’s the life of man, but whiskey’s mostly water 

Am F C G 

And it’s whiskey fuels the worker, and corrupts his only daughter 

F C F C 

The mountain water’s in the still, the copper pipes a’ steamin’ 

F Em Dm A/C G/B G 

There’ll soon be whiskey in the glass, and dreamers gone to dreamin’ 

F Em 

Chorus: Oh it’s the dreamin’, it’s the dreamin’ 

F Dm G 

A young girl’s prayer, an old man’s thoughts a reelin’ 

F G Am 

Two lovers stealin’, the moonlight beamin’ 

Dm G C 

Oh it’s the dreamin’, it’s the dreamin’ 

Oh I met her down in Dublin town, like a bottle fly I fell 

To the spider in the Blackbush of the old railway hotel 

She spun her web from Liffey’s walls, to the back rooms down at Whelan’s 

But oh how sweet her poison now I’m drowning in the dreamin’ 

Chorus: Oh it’s the dreamin’, it’s the dreamin’ 

A young girl’s prayer, an old man’s thoughts are reelin’ 

Two lovers stealin’, the moonlight beamin’ 

Oh it’s the dreamin’, it’s the dreamin’ 

Oh whiskey’s made of water, lads. Barley, corn or malt 

And man and woman’s water, mixed with poetry and salt 

Bring on the pullin’ of the tides, the flash of eyes a gleamin’ 

When passion blends the elements, the yeast is but the dreamin’ 

Chorus: Oh it’s the dreamin’, it’s the dreamin’ 

A young girl’s prayer, an old man’s thoughts are reelin’ 

Two lovers stealin’, the moonlight beamin’ 

The search for meaning, leads through the dreamin’ 

Oh whiskey’s the life of man……
