D
The Lord loves the drinkin’ man
        G
Sends honky tonk angels to the promise land
A
I hear that he can turn water to wine
     D
Any man that can do that is a good friend of mine
              D
I’ve been baptized in beer, I’m here to testify
         G
I was speaking in tongues when I came home last night
 A                                       G
Some folks say I’m livin’ in sin, but I know
           A          D
The Lord loves the drinkin’ man


[Verse 1]
D
The Preacher man he told me boy you ain’t no good
      G
The devils gonna getcha, better start actin' like you should
         A
All the cold beers and bright lights, stayin’ out all night
     D
The good book it tells me boy your soul’s gonna burn
     D
My mamma said son you’re headin’ down the wrong road
       G
They don’t let honky tonkers up in heaven I’ve been told
 A
Don’t you worry mamma I’ll see you up in heaven
  D
I’ve been thinking ‘bout it and I’ve come to this conclusion now,

[Verse 3]
D
My daddy says son you’re living your life all wrong
   G
Lighting’s gonna strike you down before too long
     A
That man upstairs he don’t like what you do
 D
When you reach those pearly gates you ain’t getting through
      D
Well I’ve been thinkin’, I’ve got a brand new plan
            G
I’m gonna start a little church down at the Stumble Inn
 A
Yea that’s right I’m gonna start my own religion
            D
We’ll be drinkin’ and dancin' at the church of Hank Williams yea,
