Whiskey you villain you've been my downfall
                                        C7           F

I'll go to yonder holler and I'll build me a still

[slower tempo and less strumming]

If the ocean was whiskey and I was a duck
                           C7         F

[back to normal tempo]

But the ocean ain't whiskey and I ain't a duck
                           C7      F
