the other 2 tabs were sort of right . . . but they were using wrong chords , and the timing
all weird on them , but to me this sounds 100% perfect
chords used ( different variations ) i’m also not 100% sure what some of the chords are
here they are
the progression of chords in the chorus is super – fast and he changes the chord with
word . . . trust me , this is accurate , just learn the strumming .

C G
i’ve got my eye on top shelf liquor ,
Am
with taste so smooth it
hits you quicker .

Am
with legs so long they go straight to heaven ,

but this old bunch looks like hell .

verse 2
C G
i’d like to hear a great musician
Am
with strange ideas and grand ambition ,
F G C

of old dead dreamers with washed up luck ,
C

verse 4
C G
this old story gets stale and dry ,
Am
no matter how i try and try to
F G C

Am
getting me loose but leaving me uptight
F
