With all this talk of beer I just have to post this song. If the chords don't seem to line up properly try copying to your favourite word processor and using a fixed font like courier 10.

I Like Beer
Tom T. Hall
performed by Jughead

  E                           A       E 
In some of my songs I have casually mentioned
B7
The fact that I like to drink beer
E A E
But this little song is more to the point
F#7 B7
So roll out the barrel and lend me your ear

Chorus
A E
I like beer! It makes me a jolly good fellow.
A F#7
B7
I like beer! I helps me unwind and sometimes it makes me feel mellow

(makes him feel mellow)
E A E
Whiskey's too rough, Champagne costs too much
A
And Vodka puts my mouth in gear
Am E C#7
This little refrain should help me explain
F#7 B7 E
As a matter of fact I like beer.

My wife often frowns when we're out on the town
And I'm wearing a suit and a tie
She's sipping vermouth and she thinks I'm uncouth
'Cause I yell as the waiter walks by

Chorus...

Last night I dreamed that I slipped from the scene
And I went to a place so sublime
All the water was clear and it tasted like beer
Then they turned it all into wine

Chorus...
