Introduction:
A
He sent honky tonk angels to the promised land
B
I hear that he can turn the water to wine
E
Any man that can do that oh he's a good friend of mine
E7
I've been baptized in beer I'm here to testify
A
I was speakin' in tongues when I came home last night
B
Some folks say I'm livin' in sin
A B E
But I know the Lord loves the drinkin' man
E E7
Well the preacher man he told me boy you ain't no good
