Four Friends (CHORDS) by Dave Malloy
[A capella]~
Oh,.. Evan Williams
You dirty-faced,.. scruffy-kneed boy
D
When I was poor and lonely
I'd put you in a jelly jar
E
Put you in the pocket of my old trench coat,..
F# Bm
And sneak you into the bar
G
Now I got plenty of money,..
D
But that doesn't mean I don't love you
A# Bm
So when the end times fall,.. and the zombies crawl
G A
I'm gonna drink you outta my shoe
[Chorus]~
G
I like to lose my mind,..
D
Get blurry,.. sloppy,.. boozy and blind
E
Like to put my hand on a pretty girl's knee
A D
And I got four dear friends to help me
[A capella]~
Oh,.. Jameson
You dignified,.. righteous young man
D
I don't care much for God
No matter what set of rules you got
E
A protestant this,.. and a catholic that
F# Bm
To me it's just diddly squat
G
But I love a good rebellion
D
And I love to hear the fiddles slide
A Bm
So when the rebels croon about that rising moon
G A D
I'm standing right here on Jamie's side
[Chorus]~
G
I like to lose my mind,..
D
Get blurry,.. sloppy,.. boozy and blind
E
Like to put my hand on a pretty girl's knee
A D
And I got four dear friends to help me
[A capella]~
Oh,.. Maker's Mark
You sweet little temptress,.. you
D
I remember you and my daddy
Sitting in the easy chair
E
He'd rip open your wax,.. pour a finger or two
F# Bm
Then he'd sit in the dark and just stare
G
I know he was thinking bout something
D
Maybe something sad from long ago
A# Bm
But when he'd tuck me in,.. with that sad little grin -
G A D
I'd think maybe I don't wanna know
[Chorus]~
G
I like to lose my mind,..
D
Get blurry,.. sloppy,.. boozy and blind
E
Like to put my hand on a pretty girl's knee
A D
And I got four dear friends to help me
[A capella]~
Oh,.. Lagavulin
You lovely lady of the loch
D
There's a forest burning somewhere
And the moon is red as blood
E
But I look in your eyes,.. and the fairies come
F#
And I'm squishin' my toes in the mud
G
I'm dancing on the stones of the oracle
D
I'm kissin' in the waterfall
A# Bm
I'm under your spell,.. in the wishing well
G A
I'm lost and I don't care at all!
[Chorus]~
G
I like to lose my mind,..
D
Get blurry,.. sloppy,.. boozy and blind
E
Like to put my hand on a pretty girl's knee
A D
And I got four dear friends to help me
A D
Four dear friends
To help me
