White Lightning Chords

(ver. 1)
Glen Campbell
Intro  In A

Verse 1

A
Well in North Carolina way back in the hills 

Lived my old pappy and he had him a still

He brewed white lightnin' till the sun went down

And then he'd fill him a jug and he'd pass it around
E                      D                      A     
Mighty mighty pleasin' pappy's corn squeezin' 
                      
(whew white lightnin')

Chorus 1

         D
Well the T men G men a revenuers too 
  A
A searchin' for the place where he made his brew
          E
They were lookin' tryin' to book him 
       D                      A
But my pappy kept on cookin'

(Whew white lightnin')

Riff  A  C  D  A  E  D  E

Verse 2

       A
Well I asked my old pappy why he called his brew

White lightnin' stead of mountain dew
       D                           
Well I took a little sip and right away I knew
       A  
And my eyes bugged out and my face turned blue
E                          D                       A
Lightnin' started flashin' thunder started crashin' 

(whew white lightnin')

Chorus 2

         D
Well the T men G men revenuers too 
          A
They were searchin' for the place where he made his brew
           E
They were lookin' tryin' to book him 
       D                     A
But my pappy kept on cookin'

Mmmm  they couldn't find his white lightnin'

Riff  E  A  D  A  D  E  D  Bb  A

Verse 3

A
Well a city slicker came and he said I'm tough

I feel I want to taste that powerful stuff

He took one slug and he drank it right down 

And I heard him a moanin' an groanin' as he hit the ground
E                      D                      A
Mighty mighty pleasin' pappy's corn squeezin' 
                       
(Mmmm white lightnin')

Outro

         D
Well the T men G men revenuers too 
          A
They were searchin' for the place where he made his brew
           E
They were lookin' tryin' to book him 
       D                     A
But my pappy kept on cookin'

(white lightnin)
