Mark David Manders - The Whiskey Song guitar chord

The Whiskey Song

Words and Music: Mark David Manders

(D)This guitar sure sounds (G)sweeter when you’re (A)drinking that old (D)whiskey

And (G)it ain’t been out of (A)tune in a long, long (D)while

(D)And from the looks you’re giving (G)me I can (A)tell you’re getting (D)frisky

And (G)you know what it (A)takes to make me (D)smile

(G)And I ain’t (A)much on old (D)love songs

(G)Hurting songs and (A)drinking’s more my (D)style

(G)And I never say (A)forever ‘cause (D)forever’s just too damn (G)long

(G)But I could hang with (A)you for a (D)while

(same chord progression in the next verse and chorus)

When I was a young man I came across some money

Through it all away on a long shot bet

But now I’m working steady, and since I met you, Honey

There’s few things in life that I regret

And I ain’t much on old love songs

Hurting songs and drinking’s more my style

And I never say forever ‘cause forever’s just too damn long

But I could hang with you for a while

Manders himself told me these were the chords.

Have fun.
