I like beer - Tom T. Hall

I think this is a much more accurate version than the one I found already posted.


    E                        A        E
In some of my songs, I have casually mentioned, 
                               B
the fact that I like to drink beer.
 E                   A            E
This little song is more to the point. 
 F#                       B
Roll out the barrels and lend me your ear.

        A                              E  
I like beer; it makes me a jolly good fellow.
        A        F#                                             B                         
I like beer; it helps me unwind and sometimes it makes me feel mellow.


[Makes him feel mellow]
  E                      A               E
Whisky's too rough, champagne costs too much, 
                            A
and vodka puts my mouth in gear.
      A         Am         E          C#        F#         B            E
This little refrain could help me explain. As a matter of fact: I like beer.


My wife often frowns, when we're out on the town, 
when I'm wearing a suit and a tie.
She's sipping vermouth, and she thinks I'm uncouth, 
when I jell when the waiter goes by:

I like beer; it makes me a jolly good fellow.
I like beer; it helps me unwind and sometimes it makes me feel mellow.
[Makes him feel mellow]
Whisky's to rough, champagne costs too much, 
and vodka puts my mouth in gear.
This little refrain could help me explain. As a matter of fact: I like beer.

Last night I dreamed that I past from the scene 
and I went to a place so sublime.
The water was clear and it tasted like beer, 
but they turned it all into wine.

I like beer; it makes me a jolly good fellow.
I like beer; it helps me unwind and sometimes it makes me feel mellow.
[Makes him feel mellow]
Whisky's to rough, champagne costs too much, 
and vodka puts my mouth in gear.
This little refrain could help me explain. As a matter of fact: I love beer.
           E7
[He likes beer]
