Corb Lund – Rye Whiskey Time To Switch To Whiskey Live chords

[Intro]
N.C.Rye whiskey, rye whiskey, rye whiskey, I cried.
N.C.If I don’t get rye whiskey well I think I may die.
N.C.I’m gonna go up beyond that holler, gonna build me a still
N.C.And I’ll sell you a gallon for a five dollar bill.
N.C.Well, If the oceans was whiskey and I was a duck,
N.C.I’d swim to the bottoms and never come up.
N.C.But the oceans ain’t whiskey and I ain’t no duck,
N.C.So I’ll play the jack o’ diamonds and trust to my luck.
N.C.Jack of Diamonds, Jack of Diamonds, you know you hold
N.C.You've robbed my poor pockets of silver and gold.
N.C.Well it’s beefsteak when I'm hungry, rye whiskey when I’m dry,
N.C.Greenbacks when I’m hard up and heaven when I die.
N.C.Rye whiskey, rye whiskey, rye whiskey, I cried.
N.C.If I don’t get rye whiskey well I think I may die.
N.C.Well, my horses ain’t hungry and they don’t want your hay.
N.C.Fair thee well darling, and I'll be on my way.

Here’s to it folks...

[Intro]

[Verse 1]
 GWell, I like a full bodied lager as much as the next hard workin' man,
 GThe taste of suds, while dealin' stud, I can surely understand,
    CThe trucker speed, and yes indeed, it's nearly gettin light,
           GWell, it's time to switch to whiskey
           F                  GWe’ve been drinkin’ beer all night!

[Verse 2]
  GSmoke your grass, and fish for bass, and burn that purple gas
 GSho' enough, it's powerfull stuff, that'll knock you on your ass
          CIt's like diesel fuel, nobody's fool's gonna wanna get left behind
           GWell, it's time to switch to whiskey
           F                 GWe’ve been drinkin’ beer all night!

[Verse 3]
 GI've been splittin' eights and hittin' m'straights in card rooms of the world
 GChasing skirt and gettin' hurt, but now I got a card playin' girl
 CMan she gets a solid when the deal don't come out right
