Written and recorded by Tom T. Hall
EAE
In some of my songs I have casually mentioned
Bm
The fact that I like to drink beer
EAE
This little song is more to the point
F#Bm
So roll out the barrel and lend me your ear

Refrain:
AE
I like beer it makes me a jolly good fellow
AF#
I like beer it helps me unwind
Bm
And sometimes it makes me feel mellow (makes him feel mellow)
EAE
Whiskeys too rough champagne cost too much
A
Vodka puts my mouth in gear
AEC#
This little refrain should help me explain
F#BmE
As a matter of fact I like beer
EAE
My wife often frowns when we're out on the town
Bm
And I'm wearing a suit and a tie
EAE
She's sipping vermouth and she thinks I'm uncouth
F#Bm
When I yell as the waiter goes by
(Repeat refrain)
EAE
Last night I dreamed that I passed from the scene
Bm
And I went to a place so sublime
EAE
The water was clear and it tasted like beer
F#Bm
Then they turned it all into wine (awwww)
(Repeat refrain)
