Intro: D  C  G  D

D                   C
 I'm headed down a highway
       G              D
Got a suitcase by my side
D                  C
Blue skies hangin' over my head
       G            D
I got 500 miles to ride
D                   C
 I'm goin' down to Memphis town
     G                D
To play a latenight show
D                       C
 I hope the people are ready there
            G                     D
'cause the boys are all ready to go

Chorus:
G                     D
 Well, I'm a whiskey rock-a-roller
G              D
 That's what I am
G                    D
 Women, whiskey and miles of travellin'
F       G        D
 Is all I understand

D  C  G  D

D               C
 I was born a travellin' man
        G                 D
And my feet to burn the ground
D                  C
 I don't care for fancy music,
          G                   D
If your shoes can't shuffle around
D                 C
 I got a hundred women or more
             G               D
And there's no place I call home
D                   C
 The only time I'm satisfied,
     G              D
Is when I'm on the road

Chorus:
G                     D
 Well, I'm a whiskey rock a' roller
G              D
 That's what I am
G                     D
 Women, whiskey, and miles of traveling
F       G        D
 Is all I understand

G             D     C          D
 Sometimes I wonder, where we go
G                D        C
 Lord don't you take my whiskey;
C            D  C  G  D
 And rock n roll

D  C  G  D

D                 C
 Take me down to Memphis town,
 G                 D
Busdriver get me there
D            C
 I got me a queenie,
         G                  D
She got long, brown, curly hair
D                   C
 She likes to drink Old Grandad
          G                D
And her shoes do shuffle around
D                 C
 And everytime I see that gal
 G                         D
Lord she wants to take me down

Chorus:
G                     D
 Well, I'm a whiskey rock a' roller
G              D
 That's what I am

 Women, whiskey, and miles of traveling
F       G        D
 Is all I understand

G             D     C          D
 Sometimes I wonder, where we go
