God’s Own Drunk Jimmy Buffett [Intro] E7 A7 E7 │ A7 E7 │ C7 B7 C7 B7 │ E7 B7 [Verse]
E7Well, like I explain to you A7all before, I ain't no drinkin' E7man I tried it A7once and it got me highly irregular And I swore I'd never do it agaE7in But I promised my brother in-law that I'd A7go up watch his still
While he went in to town to vote
E7 It was right up on the mountain where the map said it would be A7Friends let me tell you one thing, though It wasn't no ordinary still E7 It stood up on that mountainside like…A7 a huge golden opal E7 God's yeller moon shinin' on the cool clear evenin' A7 God's little lanterns twinklin' on and off in the heavens E7 Like I explain'd to you once before I ain't no drinkin' man A7 But temptation got the best of me… and I took a sE7lash A7 That yella whiskey runnin' down my throat
Like honey dew vine water and I took another slash
E7 Took another'n an another'n an another'n A7 For you knew I'd downed one whole jug of that shit 7E7 And commenced to gettin' hot flashes Goose A7pimples was runnin' up and down my body
And a feelin' came over me
Like somethin' I'dE7 never experienced before It was like,A7 like I was in love E7 A7 In love for the first timeE7, with anything that moved A7Animate, inanimate it didn't matter It's like there's a E7great neon sign flashin' on an' off In my brain sayin' "Jimmy BuffettA7 there's a great day a comin'" 'Cause I was drunkE7 A7 I wasn't knee crawlin'E7, slip slidin', Reggie Youngin' A7 Commode huggin' drunk E7 I was God's own drunkA7… and a fearless man E7 And that's when I first saw the bear A7 He was a Kodiak lookin' fella 'bout nineteen E7feet tall
He rambled up over the hill expectin' me to do one of two things
A7 Flip or fly, I didn't do either one, it hung him up E7 He started sniffin' around my body tryin' to smell fear But he ain't gonna A7smell no fear 'cause
I'm God's own drunk and a fearless man. It hung him up
E7 He looked right in my eyes, and my eyes Was a A7lot redder than his was. It hung him up E7 So I approached him, I said "UA7h, Mr. Bear, I love Every E7hair on your twenty-seven acre body A7 I know you got a lot of friends over there
On the other side of the hill
E7 There's ole' Rare bear, Tall bear, Freddy bear, Kelly bear A7Really bear, Smelly the bear, Smokey the bear, Pokey the bear I want you to go backE7 over there tonight
And tell them I'm feelin' right
You tell them I love A7each and every one of them Like a brother and a sister E7 But if they give me any trouble tonight A7I'm gonna run every God damn one of them off the hill E7 A7 He took two steps backwards and didn't know what to think E7 Neither did I but bein' charitable and cautious Well, hell, I approached him A7again I said "Mr. E7Bear, You know in the eyes of the Lord We're both A7beasts when it comes right down to it E7 So I want you to be my buddy,A7 “Buddy Bear” E7 So I took ole' buddy bear by his island size paw
And I led him over to the still
A7 He's a sniffin' around that thing cause he’s smellin something good E7 I gave him one of them jugs of honey dew vine water
He downed it up right
Looked like one of them damn A7bears in the circus Sippin' sasparilly in the moonlight E7 I gave him another'n an another'n an another'n
For I knew it he downed eight of them
And commenced to doin' the bear A7dance Two snips, a snort, a fly turn, and a grunt
E7 It was so simple like the jitter bug, it plum evaded me A7 We worked ourselves into a tumultuous uproar, and I was E7 Awful tired and went over to the hillside And IA7 laid down and went to sleep E7 Slept for four hours and dreamt me some tremulous dreams A7 Now when I woke up E7 Oh, there was God's yeller moon shinin' on the clear cool evenin' A7 God's little lanterns twinklin' on and off in the heavens E7 My buddy the bear was a-A7missin' E7 Yeah. Want to know something C7else friends and B7neighbors? C7 B7 So was that E7still
That’s a take!
