(Intro)
G D C G C G C
G D
Well me and my lady had our first big fight,
C G
So I drove around till I saw the neon lights,
C G C G C
At a corner bar, and it just seemed right, so I pulled up,
G D
Not a soul around but the ol' barkeep,
C G
Down at the end lookin half asleep,
C G C G C
But he walked up and said what'll it be? I said the Good Stuff,
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,
C
Said you can't find that here,
G D
Cause it's the first long kiss on a second date
C G
Mamma's all worried when you get home late
C G
And droppin the ring in the spaghetti plate,
C G C D
Cause your hands are shaking so much
G D
It's the way she looks with rice in her hair
C G
Eatin burnt suppers the whole first year
C G C G C
And askin for seconds, to keep her from tearin up,
D G D C G C
Yeah man that's the Good Stuff
G D
He grabbed a carton of milk and poured a glass
C G
I smiled and said I'll have some of that
C G C G C
We sat there and talked as an hour passed like ol' friends
G D
Saw a black and white picture and it caught my stare
C G
Was a pretty girl with bouffant hair
C G C G C
He said that's my Bonnie, takin bout a year after we wed
C D C D
He said spent five years in the bottle when the cancer took her from me
C D
I've been sober for three years now,
C G C D
Cause the one thing stronger than the whiskey was the
G D
The sight of her holdn my baby girl
C G
The way she adored that string of pearls
C G
I gave her the day that our youngest boy Earl
C G C D
Married his high school love
G D
And it's a new T-shirt sayin I'm a Grand Pa
C G
Being right there as our time got small
C G C G C
And holding her hand, when the good lord called her up
D G D C G C
Yeah man that's the Good Stuff
G D C G C
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 C D C
And look into those eyes so deep in love
D
And drink it up
G D C G C
Cause that's the Good Stuff
G D C G C
That's the Good Stuff
That's all there is to it folks! Just listen to the song for the chord progression to get it right.
