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
