The Steeldrivers- Drinkin' Dark Whiskey


G
Drinkin dark whiskey, tellin' white lies
                                   D
One leads to another on a Saturday night
                     C                        G
Don't you cross your heart unless you hope to die
                      D             G
Drinkin dark whiskey, tellin' white lies

G                                                  
The first drop burns but the second one goes down smooth
         C                                   G
And then that ol' black label gets a hold of you
      D                                             G  
It'll loosen your tongue but it don't ever tell the truth


Chorus

When the bottle 's talkin be careful what he might say
He talks in the dark like he never would in the day
Then he gets in trouble just as soon as he gets his way

Chorus

A little white lie don't mean anyone no good
When it's makin the rounds all over the neighborhood
Next thing you know you're all misunderstood


Chorus

Drinkin dark whiskey, tellin' white lies
