Tom T. Hall — I Like Beer

G                       C               G  
In some of my songs I have casually mentioned 
                               D7  
The fact that I like to drink beer 
 G                     C             G  
This little song is more to the point 
    A7                        D7  
So roll out the barrel and lend me your ear 
 
        C                               G  
I like beer it makes me a jolly good fellow 
        C         A7  
I like beer it helps me unwind  
                                D7  
And sometimes it makes me feel mellow (makes him feel mellow) 
 G                        C                G  
Whiskeys too rough champagne cost too much 
                        C  
Vodka puts my mouth in gear 
                            G         Em  
This little refrain should help me explain 
      D7                      G  
As a matter of fact I like beer 
 
                      C                       G  
My wife often frowns when we're out on the town 
                              D7  
And I'm wearing a suit and a tie 
       G                      C                G  
She's sipping vermouth and she thinks I'm uncouth 
        A7                   D7  
When I yell as the waiter goes by 
 
Repeat #2 
 
 G                           C                   G  
Last night I dreamed that I passed from the scene 
                          D7  
And I went to a place so sublime 
 G                            C             G  
The water was clear and it tasted like beer 
           A7                   D7  
Then they turned it all into wine  (ahhhh) 
 
Repeat #2
