[G] Me and Daddy and Grandpa Paul went out on the colony ship.
[D] They needed some farmers and [C] engineers for work [G] at the end of the trip.
Now Daddy is a farmer and [E] I'm an E.E. My grandpa is a [D] sage.
Which I guess is why they asked him on, never mind his [G] ripe old age.
Now [C] colony trip takes two long years even [G] using [D] hyperdrive.
And they can't put all of us to sleep because [C] we won't wake up [G] alive.
So by the time six months went by without a thing to do,
My [D] grandpa got a hankering [C] for the [G] taste of a homemade brew.
When the liners start [C] passing with their passengers and bars.
[D] When the traders start running, passing [G] drinks between the stars.
When the spacers start drinking and [E] they'll drink most any swill.
[D] Why you can bet they'll never [B] forget the terrific [G] centrifugal still.
That's your part.
[B] Grandpa [C] wiggled into the [D] hold and he found some copper stock.
He stole a fuel [G] container and the fuel went out the lock.
Then he went through a vent to maintenance [D] to get a [G] welding flash.
[D] And he slipped through hydroponics where [G] he got some algae mash.

[G] Well now it's a funny thing [C] about an olgy [Bm] things just don't act the same.
Heat don't rise [F#] and cold don't sink in the normal [G] stilling scheme.
So grandpa waited days and weeks but not a drop what came out.
So [D] grandpa hauled off and kicked the still.
[G] Beneath the water spout.
Well grandpa flew [E] across the hold and he carom [G] down the hall.
And that [D] still began to rotate [C] with its top glued [G] to the wall.

To see a spinning whiskey still with [G] a tubing full of shine.
