Roger Creager - "Everclear"

Everclear
(As recorded by Pat Green)

Riff 1
(G C G D G C G D G) X 2

G
Everyday in Lunch in high school
D
And all my senior year,

C G
I'd drink my coca-cola with a touch of everclear.
D
I didn't have to study math, science or history,

C G
I'd have a chemical flashback to jog my memory.
D
My junior year I swore I loved sweet miss Sherry Ann

C G
One night I put some everclear in her dr. pepper can.
C
I thought it would make her easy,
G
But she took it pretty hard
D
I took her home and rang her doorbell,
C G
Left her laying in the yard.

CHORUS
C G
Tequila dries me out,
C G
And beer just makes me fat,
D
Whiskey makes me nauseous,
C G
Tell me who the hell needs that.
G
If you're thinkin' bout drinkin,
D
The answer's crystal clear,

It's the invisible intoxicant,
C
It's called everclear.

Riff 1 X 2
G
I remember my church picnic
D
In the spring of '89

They had four fresh watermelons,
C G
Sliced right off the vine.

When the bowed their heads
D
Giving Grace for the food,

I pulled out my bottle,
C G
And I soaked them melons good.

They never knew what hit em,
D
When the potion went to work,

They had grandmas doing backflips,
C G
Grandpas looking up their skirts.
C
They were singing hallelujah,
G
And Willie Nelson songs.
D
My preacher said it was the best dang picnic
C
That the Baptists have ever thrown.

CHORUS

SOLO
Play RIFF 1, 3 times

G
Well now I'm drinking everclear,
D
Thinking I'm king of this whole world

I'm bigger n badder than John Wayne,
C G
Cooler than Steve Earl.
G D
Till I wake up and I'm face down in the hall,

C G
And I'm completely naked for a reason I can't recall
G D
I'm kinda sorta thinkin that maybe I met a chick

Cause there is perfume in the air
C G
And there is lipstick on my neck
C
Well I hope that she was pretty,
G
And I hope that she was kind
D
Enough to leave my clothes somewhere
C
They're easy to find

CHORUS
