G He drank whiskey for his liver,G Smoked cigarettes for his lungs,G He loved women for his egoC G he died a rounder at twenty one [Verse 1]C G He wouldn't work down at the saw millC G he couldn't stand that hot sunshineG He had twenty one years of real lifeC G he lived a thousand in that time [Verse 2]G One night when the blues had got him,G He must have drank three fifths of rum...G He got mean as hell when I told himC G he wouldn't live past twenty oneC G And if a man ever hit me harderC G well I don't know where or whenG He picked me up off that old bar floorC G he said I'd shore like to be your friend Instrumental Breakdown (20 bass notes) [Verse 3]G One night I saw him talkin'G To an old man at the barG He said Daddy, oh I love you,C G I just don't like where you areC G Well tell Mama to turn my lights on,C G turn down that feather bed.G I'll be twenty one tomorrowC G but tomorrow, he was dead. [Verse 4]G It's twenty one miles to that graveyard,G where Twenty one roses red,G They told the story of that rounderC G who at twenty one he was dead.... [Chorus]G He drank whiskey for his liverG He Smoked cigarettes for his lungsG He loved the women for his egoC G He died a rounder at twenty oneC G He died a rounder at tweeeeeeeeenty one.
