Bootlegging Blues chords by Jim Jackson
Skip chords and lyrics
Verse 1
Since (D major) corn liquor came in style,
that's (G major) plenty money to be made.
(D major) Yes, get a job at one of these fields
and you surely will be paid.
I'll tell you it's a mighty risk to run
and a (G major) mighty chance to take.
to spend (D major) your money
for the corn
that the bootleggers make.
The bootlegging man
got his bottle in his hand,
and all he needs is a little more speed
so he can outrun the revenue man.
When the bootlegger goes to his field, (A major)
Get (D major) (G major) ready to make his stuff.
He (D major) got his concentrated life,
cocaine and his snuff.
He'll fix you up a drink,
just won't quit.
It'll make you fight a circle song,
make you slap the lady down,
and make you pick a fight with your pa.
The bootlegging man
got his bottle in his hand,
and all he needs is a little more speed
so he can outrun the revenue man.
I went home the other night,
(A major) I (D major) swore (G major) I (D major) wouldn't (G major) drink no more,
until Sloom (D major) s come back
with Bobbin and Barney
and the days of long ago.
But I see that will never be, (A major)
so (D major) I just (G major) got drunk again.
I (D major) haven't nothing as long as corn liquor,
the lad's got no money to spend.
The bootlegging man's
got his bottle in his hand.
All he needs is a little more speed
so he can outrun the revenue
man. (G major) (D major)
(G major)
(D major) This bootlegged man's
got his bottle in his hand,
and all he needs is a little more speed
so he can outrun the revenue man.
