 My daddy played poker in the woods they say, back in his younger days

 G5                                                         D5 
 Prohibition was the talk but the rich folks walked to the woods where my daddy stayed 

  D5                                    F5
 Jugs and jars from shiners, these old boys here they aint biners

 G5                                       D5
 Came from the 29er's, it didn't take a hole in the ground to put the bottum in their face

    Verse #2

 Back in the 30's when the dust bowl dried and the woods of Alabama didn't see no light
 My daddy played poker by a hardwood fire, squeezing all his luck from a hot copper wire
 Scrap like a wildcat, fights till the end. Trap a wildcat and take its skin
 Deal from the bottom , put the ace in the hole
 One hand on the jug, but you never do know

    Chorus Intro: C5 G5 Bb5 F5

 This rotgut moonshine is making me sick

 Your momma called the law and they're gonna take me away

 Bb5                    F5
 Down so far even the devil wont stay 

 D5
 Where I called to the Lord with all my soul

          F5 
 I could hear him rattling the chain on the door

    G5
 He couldn't get in, I could see he tried

               D5  
 Through the shadows of the cage around the 40 watt light

    Chorus #2

 C5
 Daddy tell me another story  
 
 G5
 Tell me about the low's and the high's

 Bb5                                                    F5
 Tell me how to tell the difference between what they tell me is the truth or a lie

 C5                                               F5
 Tell me why the ones who have so much make the ones who don't go mad

           Bb5                                                 F5
 with the same skin stretched over their white bones and the same jug in their hand

    Verse #3

 My daddy played poker on a stump in the woods back when the world was gray
 Before black and white went and chose up sides and gave a little bit of both their way
 The only blood that's any cleaner is the blood that's blue or greener
 Without either you just get meaner and the blood you gave gives you away
