[Intro] D7 G7 C
[Verse 1]
In [C] some of my songs I [F] have casually [C] mentioned
The [C] fact that I like to drink [G7] beer
[C] This little song is [F] more to the [C] point
So [D7] roll out the barrel and [G7] lend me your ears
[REFRAIN]
[Verse 2]
My [C] wife often frowns when we're [F] out on the [C] town
And I'm [C] wearing a suit and a [G7] tie
She's [C] sipping vermouth and she [F] thinks I'm [C] uncouth
When I [D7] yell as the waiter goes [G] by
[REFRAIN]
I like [F] beer, it makes me a jolly good [C] fellow
I like [F] beer, it [D7] helps me unwind
And sometimes it makes me feel [G7] mellow
STOP MUSIC - (makes him feel mellow)
[C] Whiskey's too rough, cham-[F]-pagne cost too [C] much
And [C] vodka puts my mouth in [F] gear
This [F] little [FM] refrain should [C] help me [A7] explain
As a [D7] matter of [G7] fact I love [C] beer. (he likes beer)
[Verse 3]
[C] Last night I dreamed that I [F] passed from the [C] scene
And I [C] went to a place so sub-[G7]-lime
Oh, the [C] water was clear and [F] tasted like [C] beer
Then [D7] they turned it all into [G7] wine (awwww)
[REFRAIN]
END WITH NO MUSIC (yes, he likes beer)
