Verse 1
Folks (D minor) say
my daddy (D major) wasn't much of a man
For (G major) disobeying the laws of the land
(A major) Folks say that my daddy wasn't
fit to kill (D major) (D minor) (D major) (D minor)
Oh and I know it was true
what the people (D major) said
(D minor) Cause (G major) we'd all've been
better of dead
Than to (A major) live a life of shame and strife
Cause of daddy's moonshine (D major) still (D minor)
(D major) My (D minor) mama

(A major) Worryin' about the way
we had to live
(D major) (D minor)
Verse 3
Yeah my (D major) daddy put the wrinkles

Verse 5
Daddy's moonshine still (C major)

Verse 6
(E flat minor)
Them old mason jars that
daddy made us wash
And set (A flat major) them out to sun
(E flat minor) on (A flat major) our back porch
'Til (B flat major) he got ready to take
'em up on the hill (E flat minor)
And when daddy got word of the revenue
He (A flat major) made us kids help hide his brew
(B flat major) Made us swear that we never knew
About daddy's moonshine (B flatsus4) (E flat minor) still
Verse 7
Yeah and two (E flat minor) of my brothers
drove across the state line
Once a week with a load of moonshine
And the wounds (B flat major) that came from
that won't ever heal (E flat major)
Cause (E flat minor) on a moonshine
run one rainy night
My two brothers lost their lives
And (B flat minor) oh my god (B flat major) how I despise
My daddy's moon (B flatsus4) shine
(E flat minor) still
(A flat major) (D flat major) (A flat major)
Verse 8
Repeat (D flat major) Chorus (A flat major)

(D flat major) (E flat minor)
(E major) (E minor)
Well (E major) it broke
Verse 9
mama's heart
but she understood
The (A major) day that I left home for good
But (B major) I had to find me
another way to live (E major) (E minor)
Well I sent mama (E major) money nearly every day
And (A major) how I made it, well I'd rather not say
But at least (B major) it took me far away
From daddy's moonshine (E major) still
My (E minor) boot
Verse 10
(E major) legging daddy
was known quite well
And he made (A major) our home a livin' hell
And (B major) I ain't forgot it and
I know that I never will (E major) (E minor)
(B major) My mama (E major) finally died she just gave up
And daddy (A major) finally died from
drinkin' that stuff
And bad (B major) memories haunt the
rest of us
From daddy's moonshine (E major) still
(E minor) (D major) (A major) (D major)

Repeat (D major) Chorus
