Dave Van Ronk - Kentucky Moonshiner Chords

[Verse 1]
       C         Am        C               Dm
I’ve been a moonshiner for seventeen long years
        C         Am       C           Dm
I’ve spent all my money on whiskey and beers
      D2/A Dm  D2/A  Dm         D2/A Dm D2/A Dm
In a wild lonesome holler I’ll build me my  still
         C          Am           C          Dm
And I’ll make you a gallon for a two-dollar bill
 
[Verse 2]
     C          Am            C             Dm
I’ll go to some grocery, I’ll drink with my friends
   C         Am          C           Dm
No women to follow me to see what I spend
    D2/A  Dm    D2/A   Dm       D2/A  Dm   D2/A Dm
God bless those pretty women, I wish  they was  mine
      C            Am       C          Dm
Their breath is as sweet as dew on the vine
 
[Verse 3]
         C                  Am           C               Dm
Well its cornbread when I’m hungry, corn liquor when I’m dry
        C                   Am           C               Dm
And its greenbacks when I’m hard up, and religion when I die
    D2/A    Dm D2/A Dm          D2/A   Dm  D2/A Dm
The world’s but a   bottle, and life’s but a   dram
         C         Am       C             Dm
When the bottle is empty it ain’t worth a damn
 
[Verse 4]
       C         Am        C               Dm
I’ve been a moonshiner for seventeen long years
        C         Am       C           Dm
I’ve spent all my money on whiskey and beers
       D2/A  Dm  D2/A  Dm          D2/A  Dm D2/A Dm
In a wild   lonesome holler I’ll build   me my   still
         C          Am           C          Dm
And I’ll make you a gallon for a two-dollar bill
