White Lightning

Glen Campbell

Intro: A

verse 1

Well in North Carolina way back in the hills

Lived my old pappy and he had him a still

He brewed white lightnin' till the sun went down

And then he'd fill him a jug and he'd pass it around

E D A

Mighty mighty pleasin' pappy's corn squeezin'

(whew white lightnin')

[Refrão] D

Well the T men G men a revenuers too

A searchin' for the place where he made his brew

They were lookin' tryin' to book him

D A

But my pappy kept on cookin'

(Whew white lightnin')

Riff: A C D A E D E

verse 2

Well I asked my old pappy why he called his brew

White lightnin' stead of mountain dew

Well I took a little sip and right away I knew

And my eyes bugged out and my face turned blue

E D A

Lightnin' started flashin' thunder started crashin'

(whew white lightnin')

[Refrão] D

Well the T men G men revenuers too

They were searchin' for the place where he made his brew

They were lookin' tryin' to book him

D A

But my pappy kept on cookin'

Mmmm they couldn't find his white lightnin'

Riff E A D A D E D Bb A

verse 3

Well a city slicker came and he said I'm tough

I feel I want to taste that powerful stuff

He took one slug and he drank it right down

And I heard him a moanin' an groanin' as he hit the ground

E D A

Mighty mighty pleasin' pappy's corn squeezin'

(Mmmm white lightnin')
