Title: The Good Stuff
Written By: Craig Wiseman/Jim Collins
Intro:
G D/F# Em D C C
Verse:
G D/F#
Well me and my lady had our first big fight
Em D
So I drove around 'til I saw the neon lights
C C/B Am7
Of a corner bar, and it just seemed right, so I pulled up
G D/F#
Not a soul around but the ol' barkeep
Em D
Down at the end lookin half asleep
C C/B Am7
But he walked up and said what'll it be, I said the good stuff
C/B C D C D
He didn't reach around for the whiskey, He didn't pour me a beer,
C D
His blue eyes kinda went misty,
Em
He said you can't find that here
Chorus:
/F# G D/F#
Cause it's the first long kiss on a second date
Em G
Mamma's all worried when you get home late
C C/B
And droppin the ring in the spaghetti plate,
Am C/B C D
Cause your hands are shaking so much
G D/F#
And it's the way she looks with rice in her hair
Em G
Eatin burnt suppers the whole first year
C C/B Am C/B C
And askin for seconds, to keep her from tearin up,
D G D/F# C C
Yeah man that's the good stuff
Verse:
He grabbed a carton of milk and he poured a glass
I smiled and said I'll have some of that
We sat there and talked as an hour passed like ol' friends
Saw a black and white picture and it caught my stare
Was a pretty girl with bouffant hair
He said that's my Bonnie, takin bout a year after we wed
He said I spent five years in the bottle when the cancer took her from me
I've been sober three years now,
Am C/B C D
Cause the one thing stronger than the whiskey, It was...
Chorus:
The sight of her holdn our baby girl
The way she adored that string of pearls
I gave her the day that our youngest boy Earl
Married his high school love
And it's a new T-shirt sayin I'm a Grandpa
Being right there as our time got small
And holding her hand, when the good lord called her up
G D/F# C~~>
Yeah man that's the good stuff
Solo:
~~> C G D/F# C C
Bridge:
D G
He said when you get home she'll start to cry
D G
When she says I'm sorry, say so am I
G D/F# Em D C
And look into those eyes so deep in love
D
And drink it up
G D/F# C C
Cause that's the good stuff
G D/F# C C C~~~
That's the good stuff
