#1.
E5
In North Carolina, way back in the hills,

there lived my Pappy and he had him a still.
   A5
He brewed white lightning till the sun was down,
              E5
and then he'd fill him a jug, and pass it around.
B5                           A5
Mighty, mighty pleasin', my Pappy's corn squeezin'..
        E5               
called, white Lightning.

CHORUS:
A5
G-men, T-men, Revenurers too,
E5
searchin' for the place where he made his brew.
          B5
They were lookin', tryin' to book him ,
       A5                      E5               B5
But my Pappy kept on cookin'..white Lightning.

#2.
  E5
I asked my Pappy why he called his brew..

white lightning, instead of mountain dew.
  A5
I took one sip and then I knew,
      E5
as my eyes bugged out and my face turned blue.
B5                           A5
Mighty, mighty pleasin', my Pappy's corn squeezin'..
        E5               
called..white Lightning.

CHORUS:
A5
G-men, T-men, Revenurers too,
E5
searchin' for the place where he made his brew.
          B5
They were lookin', tryin' to book him ,
       A5                      E5               
But my Pappy kept on cookin'..white Lightning.

#3.
  E5
A city slicker came, and said, "I'm mighty tough..
  
I think I wanna taste that powerful stuff.'
   A5
He took one slug and he drank it right down,
      E5
and I heard him a-moanin' as he hit the ground..
 B5                              A5
'Mighty, mighty, pleasin', your Pappy's corn squeezin'..
             E5               
It's called..White Lightning.

CHORUS:
A5
G-men, T-men, Revenurers too,
E5
searchin' for the place where he made his brew.
          B5
They were lookin', tryin' to book him ,
       A5                            E5               
But my Pappy kept on cookin'..yeah, white Lightning.

CHORUS:
A5
G-men, T-men, Revenurers too,
E5
searchin' for the place where he made his brew.
          B5
They were lookin', tryin' to book him ,
       A5                      E5               
But my Pappy kept on cookin'..white Lightning.
