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 bitches

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 whores 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)
