Song: Everything From Jesus To Jack Daniels Tab
Everything From Jesus To Jack Daniels
By Tom T Hall
9/5/2011
Capo 2
G C
You wake up in the morning, drink a beer and take a Valium
G D
And you're trying to forget about the things you did last night
G C
Flip through the morning paper, read the horoscope and the comics
G D G
You're as well informed as anybody on the left or the right
You make it to your job and hear Atlanta lost another
How can you lose while making half a million bucks or near
The old man who sweeps the floor and wears a big blue Reagan button
Says the Russians are a-coming but they've been here for years
Chorus:
C G
Trying everything from Jesus to Jack Daniels
D G
It's the all new American diet
C G
Trying everything from Jesus to Jack Daniels
C G D G
You get on it and you're on it for the rest of your life
There's a story in the paper about a man who killed his family
He jumped off a bridge because he couldn't take it anymore
Down at the local tavern a young man comes in limpin'
And he claims that he's a veteran of the Falkland Islands war
You head home and you're accosted by a youngster wearin' robes
And wanting money for his God who sits upon a plastic throne
You ignore him if you can and make it to the local tavern
Where you order up a drink and give some money to your own
Chorus
There's a man in Tennessee who's got it figured out completely
I guess that he's as happy as a thinking man can be
I asked him what he thought and he said brother let me tell you
Try a little bit of both and leave out everything in between
Chorus
