Written and recorded by Tom T. Hall
[Intro]
D7 G7 C
[Verse 1]
C F C
In some of my songs I have casually mentioned
C G7
The fact that I like to drink beer
C F C
This little song is more to the point
D7 G7
So roll out the barrel and lend me your ears
[Refrain]
F C
I like beer, it makes me a jolly good fellow
F D7
I like beer, it helps me unwind
G7
And sometimes it makes me feel mellow (makes him feel mellow)
C F C
Whiskey's too rough, champagne cost too much
C F
Vodka puts my mouth in gear
F Fm C A7
This little refrain should help me explain
D7 G7 C
As a matter of fact I like beer (he likes beer)
[Verse 2]
C F C
My wife often frowns when we're out on the town
C G7
And I'm wearing a suit and a tie
C F C
She's sipping vermouth and she thinks I'm uncouth
D7 G7
When I yell as the waiter goes by
[Refrain]
F C
I like beer, it makes me a jolly good fellow
F D7
I like beer, it helps me unwind
G7
And sometimes it makes me feel mellow (makes him feel mellow)

Whiskey's too rough, champagne cost too much

And vodka puts my mouth in gear
F Fm C A7
This little refrain should help me explain
D7 G7 C
As a matter of fact I like beer (he likes beer)
[Verse 3]
C F C
Last night I dreamed that I passed from the scene
C G7
And I went to a place so sublime
C F C
Oh, the water was clear and tasted like beer
D7 G7
Then they turned it all into wine (awwww)
[Refrain]
F C
I like beer, it makes me a jolly good fellow
F D7
I like beer, it helps me unwind
G7
And sometimes it makes me feel mellow (makes him feel mellow)
C F C
Whiskey's too rough, champagne cost too much
C F
And vodka puts my mouth in gear
F Fm C A7
This little refrain should help me explain
D7 G7 C
As a matter of fact I love beer (yes, he likes beer)
