EIn (022100@1)North Carolina, way back in the hills,

there lived my Pappy and he had him a still.
   AHe (x02220@1)brewed white lightning till the sun was down,
              Eand (022100@1)then he'd fill him a jug, and pass it around.
B (x2444x@1)                         AMighty, (x02220@1)mighty pleasin', my Pappy's corn squeezin'..
        E (022100@1)             
called, white Lightning.

CHORUS:
AG-men, (x02220@1)T-men, Revenurers too,
Esearchin' (022100@1)for the place where he made his brew.
          BThey (x2444x@1)were lookin', tryin' to book him,
       A (x02220@1)                    E (022100@1)             BBut (x2444x@1)my Pappy kept on cookin'..white Lightning.

      Eas (022100@1)my eyes bugged out and my face turned blue.
