Forefathers - Stripped Back Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][G][C][E]

[Verse 1]
Well my [Am]momma worked the graveyard
[G]And my daddy was gone
So I [C]spent my nights with Ray Charles
I [E]cried to Louis Armstrong
Well my [Am]momma she was always there
[G]Diggin' us out of the hole
But my [C]father he never cared
Now he [E]don't even pick up the phone

[Chorus 1]
So I call
[Am]Jim Beam when I'm in need
Evan Williams if I'm out of mo[G]ney
Johnnie Walker picks up day and night
[C]Jack Daniels
he [E]always gives me great advice

[Interlude 1]
[Am][Am][G][G]
[C][C][E][E]

[Verse 2]
As a [Am]child playing make-believe
[G]Pretending that you're coming home
I would [C]climb in the maple tree
[E]Guessing which car was yours
It took a [Am]while but you finally showed
[G]15 summers down the road
I know you [C]tried to give it a go
But you don't [E]answer my calls no more

[Chorus 2]
So I call
[Am]Jim Beam when I'm in need
Evan Williams if I'm, out of mo[G]ney
Johnnie Walker picks up day and night
[C]Jack Daniels
he [E]always gives me great advice

[Outro 1]
[Am][Am][G][G]
[C][C][E][E][Am]
