Hemingway's whiskey

Ah, it's tough out there, a good muse is
hard to find
Living one word to the next, one line at a time
There's more to life than whiskey, there's
more to words than rhyme
Sometimes nothing works, sometimes nothing shines
Like Hemingway's whiskey

A#                      G#
Sail away, sail away, three sheets to the wind
Fm                   A#
Live hard, die hard, this ones for him

Hemingway's whiskey, warm and smooth and mean
Even when it burns, it'll always finish clean
He didn't like it watered down, he took it
straight up and neat
If it was bad enough for him, you know it's
bad enough for me
Hemingway's whiskey
Hemingway's whiskey
Hemingway's whiskey
