Drinking Beer with Dad Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]It's the simple things in life
But life [C]ain't so simple [G]right
And times get hard and people
can make [D]you mad
But I re[G]member when I was young
I couldn't [C]wait [G]to turn 21
Sit in the backyard [D]sun and
drink beer with dad
[G]

[Verse 2]
Drinking beer with [C]dad
Out there on the back porch [G]swinging
Drinking beer with [C]dad
Picking my guitar and grin[G]ning

[Verse 3]
We'd [G]hem and haw, we'd cuss and fight
But [Am]that's where I learned
life's best advice
[C]We'd talk about when I
was young and bad
Some[Em]times he'd make
me fightin' mad
[G]Best education I [D]ever had
Was [C]out there on the back porch
drinking beer with dad
[G]

[Verse 4]
Nowadays most things have changed
This whole [C]world is heading
down the [G]drain
There's no God in schools
Toting guns is the latest [D]fad
A little [G]discipline would sure be nice
A little [C]lesson in wrong and [G]right
Maybe it's time young [D]man to
have a beer with dad
[G]

[Verse 5]
Drinking beer with [C]dad
Out there on the back porch [G]swinging
Drinking beer with [C]dad
Picking my guitar and singing
[G]

[Verse 6]
I'd play him songs all through the night
I'd [Am]praise the Lord I saw the light
[C]We'd stay up late and make mom mad
But [Em]half the time we'd
just laugh and laugh
[G]Some of the best times I [D]ever had
Was [C]out there on the back porch drinking beer with

[Interlude 1]
dad
[G][Em][G][Em]
[G][D][G][D][Em][D][Am][D]

[Verse 7]
Now son [G]I'm so damn proud of you
And [C]the young man you've
turned [G]into
You're the best son a father
could ever [D]have
And though your [G]grandpa's
done past on
[C]Soon [G]you'll be 21
So come on the back porch [D]son
and have a beer with dad
[G]

[Verse 8]
Drinking beer with [C]dad
Out there on the back porch [G]swinging
Drinking beer with [C]dad
Picking our guitars and [G]grinning

[Verse 9]
We'll [G]hem and haw, we'll cuss and fight
But [Am]I'll pass along life's best advice
We'll [C]talk about your old granddad
The [Em]things he gave us he never had
[G]I wish forever our [D]time could last
I [Em]wish this world wouldn't [C]move so fast
Out here on the back porch
Out here on the back porch
drinking beer with [G]dad
