CAPO I

INTRO: G

G

Well in North Carolina way back in the hills

Lived my old pappy and he had him a still

He brewed white lightning 'til the sun went down,

N/C G-G/F#

And then he'd fill him a jug mmm-hmm and pass it around

D C

Mighty mighty pleasin' you're pappy's home-squeezin'

N/C G

Bwwwwwsh, white lightnin'

CHORUS:

C

Yeah the G-men, T-men, revenuers too

G

Searchin' for the place where he made his brew

D C

They were lookin' tryin' to book 'im but my pappy kept on cookin'

N/C G

Bwwwwwsh, white lightnin'

SOLO

Well I asked my old pappy why he called his brew

White lightnin' 'stead of mountain dew

I took a little sip and right away I knew

As my eyes bugged out and my face turned blue

Lightnin' started flashin', thunder started clashin'

Bwwwwwsh, white lightnin'

CHORUS

Well a city slicker came and said "I'm tough

I think I wanna taste that powerful stuff"

He took one shlug and he drank it right down

And I heard him a-moanin' as he hit the ground

Mighty mighty pleasin' you're pappy's home-squeezin'

Bwwwwwsh, white lightnin'

CHORUS (don't do the very last line)
