Here's my good friend William [G] Beckman, pressing our [C] live audience at Billy Bob's Texas in
with a [Bb] live take of his fantastic [C] song, Bourbon Whiskey.
So Bourbon [Bb] Whiskey is a [C] song that I wrote when I was 19 years old.
Nashville [C] and I don't know, I kind of [G] wanted to write like [C] what I thought
a [Bb] [Gm] traditional country song.
[Bb] I felt kind of paid [C] homage to the greats [Gm] that came before
essentially [Dm] built Nashville into what [C] it is today.
[G] and most of the records that I did get [D] were

_ _ _ _ Here's my good friend William [G] Beckman, pressing our [C] live audience at Billy Bob's Texas in
the historic Fort Worth Stockyards with a [Bb] live take of his fantastic [C] song, Bourbon Whiskey.
So Bourbon [Bb] Whiskey is a [C] song that I wrote when I was 19 years old.
[Gm] I just moved to Nashville [C] and I don't know, I kind of [G] wanted to write like [C] what I thought
was a [Bb] [Gm] traditional country song.
I [C] wanted to write a song that [Bb] I felt kind of paid [C] homage to the greats [Gm] that came before
me that essentially [Dm] built Nashville into what [C] it is today.
I used to listen to a lot of vinyl records [G] and most of the records that I did get [D] were
like old school country [C] records.
[Bb] Most of them talk about their woman [G] leaving them and getting drunk, so I decided to write
[Dm] a song about both those things.
[C] So that's how Bourbon Whiskey was written.
Once we [Gm] start playing that song at the shows, everybody starts singing along, [D] which is a
dream come true for me.
I never [G] really, I mean I knew I always wanted that to happen, but when it happens, it kind
[C] of surprises you every time.
But again, it's like, I just think it's an authentic [Gm] country song and [C] because of that
I'm really proud of it.
And [Bb] I've had a lot of people tell me that that's [C] their favorite song, so we play it
every night and it's probably the highlight of everybody's night when we play that.
