From the album High on the Hog

Submitted by D.H. Badger

Here's the first single off of High on the Hog. I

play it with the capo on the 1st fret, it's a little

too deep for me when I play it open. Go to

kevinfowler.com to get the tempo down. Just don't

play it outside in a storm (ha!).

(Chorus)

D (strum once)

The Lord loves the drinkin’ man

G

Sends honkey tonk angels to the promise land

A

I hear that he can turn water to wine

D

Any man that can do that is a good friend of mine

D

I’ve been baptized in beer, I’m here to testify

G

I was speaking in tongues when I came home last night

A G

Some folks say I’m livin’ in sin, but I know

A D

The Lord loves the drinkin’ man

D

The Preacher man he told me boy you ain’t no good

G

The devils gonna getcha, better start actin' like you

should

A

All the cold beers and bright lights, stayin’ out all

night

D

The good book it tells me boy your soul’s gonna burn

D

My mamma said son you’re headin’ down the wrong road

G

They don’t let honkey tonkers up in heaven I’ve been

told

A

Don’t you worry mamma I’ll see you up in heaven

D

I’ve been thinking ‘bout it and I’ve come to this

conclusion now,

(chorus)

D

My daddy says son you’re living your life all wrong

G

Lighting’s gonna strike you down before too long

A

That man upstairs he don’t like what you do

D

When you reach those pearly gates you ain’t getting

through

D

Well I’ve been thinkin’, I’ve got a brand new plan

G

I’m gonna start a little church down at the Stumble

Inn

A

Yea that’s right I’m gonna start my own religion

D

We’ll be drinkin’ and dancin' at the church of Hank

Williams yea,

(repeat chorus)

D G

Oh, yea I know

A G A G A

The Lord loves, I hope he does, the Lord loves the

D

drinkin’ man
