Kenny Chesney - The Good Stuff: chords

G                            D/F#
Well me and my lady had our first big fight,
      Em                          D
So I drove around till I saw the neon lights,
C                        G
At a corner bar, and it just seemed right,
      Am
so I pulled up,

Not a soul around but the old bar keep
Down at the end and looking half asleep
But he walked up, and said, "What'll it be?"
I said, "The good stuff"

C                                 D
He didn't reach around for the whiskey,
C                    D
He didn't pour me a beer,
C                         D
His blue eyes kinda went misty,
     Em7
Said you can't find that here,

Chorus:
                G                    D
Cause it's the first long kiss on a second date
 Em                           G
Mamma's all worried when you get home late
      C                          G
And droppin the ring in the spaghetti plate,
            Am        G/B        C   D
Cause your hands are shaking so much
           G                 D
It's the way she looks with rice in her hair
Em                        G
Eatin burnt suppers the whole first year
    C                      G/B            Am    G C
And askin for seconds, to keep her from tearin up,
      D              G        D/F#  C
Yeah man that's the Good Stuff

He grabbed a carton of milk and he poured a glass
And I smiled and said, "I'll have some of that"
We sat there and talked as an hour passed,
like old friends
I saw a black and white picture and
it caught my stare
It was a pretty girl with bouffant hair
He said, "That's my Bonnie
Taken about a year after we were wed"

He said, "Spent five years in the bottle
When the cancer took her from me
But I've been sober three years now
'Cause the one thing stronger than the whiskey

Chorus:
Was the sight of her holding my baby girl
The way she adored that string of pearls
I gave her the day that our youngest boy, Earl
Married his high school love
And it's a new T-shirt saying, "I'm a Grandpa"
Being right there as our time got small
And holding her hand, when the Good Lord
called her up
Yeah, man, that's the good stuff"

He said, "When you get home, she'll start to cry
When she says, "I'm sorry," say, "So am I"
And look into those eyes, so deep in love
And drink it up
'Cause that's the good stuff
That's the good stuff
