Am            C           G
Rye whiskey, rye whiskey, rye
           Em
 whiskey I cry
Am                       C
If you don't give me rye whiskey
    G          Am
 I surely will die
Am                C         G
If the ocean was whiskey and I
        Am
 was a duck
Am               C           G
I'd dive to the bottom and never
  Em
come up
Am             C          G
Rye whiskey, rye whiskey, rye
             Am
 whiskey I cry
Am           C               G
If you don't give me rye whiskey
               Em
 I surely will die
Am            C          G
Way up on Clinch Mountain I
           Am
 wander alone
Am               C        G
I'm drunk as the devil, just
               Em
 leave me alone
Am           C             G
Rye whiskey, rye whiskey, it's
              Am
 whiskey I cry
Am              C            G
If you don't give me rye whiskey
                 Em
 I surely will die
Am         C               G
I'll eat when I'm hungry, I'll
                Am
 drink when I'm dry
Am                      C   G
If a tree don't fall on me I'll
               Em
 live 'til I die
Am            C           G
Rye whiskey, rye whiskey, it's
             Am
 whiskey I cry
Am            C             G
If you don't give me rye whiskey
                Em
 I surely will die
Am            C
It's whiskey, rye whiskey, rye
             Am
 whiskey I cry
Am            C             G
If you don't give me rye whiskey
                Em
 I surely will die
