[Verse 1]
[Am]Oh, whiskey's [F]the life [C]of man,
but whiskey's [G]mostly water
And it's [Am]whiskey fuels the [F]worker
[C]and corrupts his [G]only daughter
[F]The mountain water in [C]the still,
[F]the copper pipes a- [C]steamin'[F]
There'll soon be whiskey [Em]in the glass
and [Dm]dreamers gone to dreamin'
[G]

[Verse 2]
Oh, it's the [F]dreamin',
[C]it's [Em]the dreamin'
[Dm]A young girl's prayer,
an [F]old man's thoughts a- [G]reelin'
Two lovers [F]stealin',
the [G]moonlight [Am]beamin'
Oh, it's the [Dm]dreamin',
[G]it's the dreamin'
[C]

[Verse 3]
Oh, I [Am]met her down in [F]Dublin t[C]own,
like a bottle fly I [G]fell
[Am]To the spider in [F]the [C]Blackbush of
the old railway [G]hotel
[F]I spun my web fro[C]m Liffey's walls,
to the [F]back room down [C]at Whelan's
But, [F]oh, how sweet my [Em]poison,
now is [Dm]drowning in the dreamin'
[G]

[Verse 4]
Oh, it's [F]the dreamin',
[Em]it's the dreamin'
[Dm]A young girl's prayer,
an [F]old man's thoughts a- [G]reelin'
Two lovers [F]stealin',
the [G]moonlight [Am]beamin'
Oh, it's the [Dm]dreamin',
[G]it's the dre[C]amin'

[Interlude 1]
[C][F][G][Am][Dm][G][C]

[Verse 5]
Oh, [Am]whiskey's made of [F]water,
[C]lads, barley, [G]corn or malt
[Am]And man and woman's water,[F]
[C]mixed with poetry [G]and salt
[F]Bring on the[C] pullin' of the tides,
[F]the flash of eyes [C]a- gleamin'
[F]When passion blends the [Em]elements,
[Dm]the yeast is but the dreamin'
[G]

[Verse 6]
Oh, it's [F]the dreamin', it's the [Em]dreamin'
A [Dm]young girl's prayer,
an [F]old man's thoughts a- [G]reelin'
Two lovers [F]stealin',
the [G]moonlight [Am]beamin'
The search for [Dm]meaning,
[G]leads through the dre[C]amin'
Oh, [Am]whiskey's [F]the life of man
