The Lord Loves The Drinkin' Man

Capotraste 1st fret'' 
 
(Chorus) 
D (strum once) 
The Lord loves the drinkin' man 
        G 
Sends honkey tonk angels to the promise land 
A 
I hear that he can turn water to wine 
     D 
Any man that can do that is a good friend of mine 
              D 
I've been baptized in beer, I'm here to testify 
         G 
I was speaking in tongues when I came home last night 
 A                                       G 
Some folks say I'm livin' in sin, but I know 
           A          D 
The Lord loves the drinkin' man 
 
D 
The Preacher man he told me boy you ain't no good 
      G 
The devils gonna getcha, better start actin' like you 
should 
         A 
All the cold beers and bright lights, stayin' out all 
night 
     D 
The good book it tells me boy your soul's gonna burn 
     D 
My mamma said son you're headin' down the wrong road 
       G 
They don't let honkey tonkers up in heaven I've been 
told 
 A 
Don't you worry mamma I'll see you up in heaven 
  D 
I've been thinking 'bout it and I've come to this 
conclusion now, 
 
(chorus) 
 
D 
My daddy says son you're living your life all wrong 
   G 
Lighting's gonna strike you down before too long 
     A 
That man upstairs he don't like what you do 
 D 
When you reach those pearly gates you ain't getting 
through 
      D 
Well I've been thinkin', I've got a brand new plan 
            G 
I'm gonna start a little church down at the Stumble 
Inn 
 A 
Yea that's right I'm gonna start my own religion 
            D 
We'll be drinkin' and dancin' at the church of Hank 
Williams yea, 
 
(repeat chorus) 
 
 D         G 
Oh, yea I know 
           A   G            A G            A 
The Lord loves, I hope he does, the Lord loves the  
   D 
drinkin' man
