Vern Gosdin — Tennessee Courage

G                                C              G  
When they open the bar I'll be there on the stool 
                              D7  
And forget all my cares in a hurry 
 G                         C             G  
And it's my belief that I'll find relief 
                D7          G  
In a bottle of Tennessee courage 
 
                             C            G  
Her memory keeps waitin' in line every night 
                           D7  
Alone with the rest of my worries 
 G                        C                 G  
But I'll never crawl I can hold up the wall 
                       D7          G  
With the help of some Tennessee courage 
 
     D7                            C                    G  
Now my good friend Jack Daniels stands tall on the shelf 
                             D7  
And he'll go to war with my troubles 
     C             D7              G              C  
And he'll never desert an old friend when I'm hurt 
     G              D7          G  
And needin' some Tennessee courage 
 
                            C               G  
It's straight ninety proof can alter the truth 
                             D7  
Put hair on your chest in a hurry 
 G                           C          G  
I know I'll survive raise hell for awhile 
                  D7          G  
With a bottle of Tennessee courage
