Kevin Fowler - The Lord Loves The Drinkin' Man
Capo 1
(Chorus)
D (strum once)
The Lord loves the drinkin' man
Sends ho[G]nkey tonk angels to the promise land
[A]I hear that he can turn water to wine
Any m[D]an that can do that is a good friend of mine
I've been bapt[D]ized in beer, I'm here to testify
I was spe[G]aking in tongues when I came home last night
S[A]ome folks say I'm livin' in sin, but I k[G]now
The Lord lo[A]ves the dri[D]nkin' man
[D]The Preacher man he told me boy you ain't no good
The de[G]vils gonna getcha, better start actin' like you
should
All the c[A]old beers and bright lights, stayin' out all
night
The g[D]ood book it tells me boy your soul's gonna burn
My ma[D]mma said son you're headin' down the wrong road
They do[G]n't let honkey tonkers up in heaven I've been
told
D[A]on't you worry mamma I'll see you up in heaven
I'[D]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
Lig[G]hting's gonna strike you down before too long
That [A]man upstairs he don't like what you do
W[D]hen you reach those pearly gates you ain't getting
through
Well I[D]'ve been thinkin', I've got a brand new plan
I'm gonna st[G]art a little church down at the Stumble
Inn
Y[A]ea that's right I'm gonna start my own religion
We'll be dri[D]nkin' and dancin' at the church of Hank
Williams yea,
(repeat chorus)
O[D]h, yea I k[G]now
The Lord lo[A]ves,[G] I hope he do[A]es[G], the Lord lo[A]ves the
dri[D]nkin' man
