Jimmy Was A Drinking Kind Of Man Chords & Lyrics - Johnny Rodriguez

[C]Jimmy was a regular at the local drinking bar

[F]He worked like every[G7]body else and ways were mean and hard

I [C]met him as a little boy and I liked him as I [F]grew

Jimmy's life was [G7]tough and seemed like everybody [C]knew

That Jimmy was a drinking kind of [F]man

He [G7]loved to hear a good hillbilly [C]band

The scar across his face was Jimmy's [F]brand

Cause [G7]Jimmy was a drinking kind of [C]man

We got to be together 'fore the good Lord tucked him in

He [F]said I'm never [G7]coming back to this old town again

Said [C]no one understands me folks don't even want me [F]home

He took a drink of [G7]wine and said its hell to be [C]alone


That Jimmy was a drinking kind of [F]man

He [G7]loved to hear a good hillbilly [C]band

The scar across his face was Jimmy's [F]brand

Cause [G7]Jimmy was a drinking kind of [C]man

I finally got to see ole Jim after being gone so long

By the [F]crowd of cars [G7]around his house


I could tell there was something wrong

I [C]arrived in time to find him in a pine box on the [F]floor

His momma's eyes were [G7]filled with tears as I stepped in the [C]door

That Jimmy was a drinking kind of m[F]an

He [G7]loved to hear a good hillbilly [C]band

The scar across his face was Jimmy's [F]brand

Cause [G7]Jimmy was a drinking kind of [C]man
