Intro
[G] [D/F#] [Em] [G] [C] [Cadd9] [C]
Well [G]me and my lady had our [D/F#]first big fight,
So I [Em]drove around till I saw the [G]neon lights,
At a [C]corner bar, and it [Em7/B]just seemed right, so I [Am]pulled [Asus2]up,[Am]
Not a [G]soul around but the [D/F#]ol' barkeep,
[Em]Down at the end lookin [G]half asleep,
But [C]he walked up and said [Em7/B]what'll it be? I said the [Am]Good [Asus2]Stuff,[Am]
[Em7/B]
He [C]didn't reach around for the [D]whiskey, He [C]didn't pour me a [D]beer,
His [C]blue eyes kinda went [D]misty, he said
[Em]You can't find that here,
[D]Cause it's the [G]first long kiss on a [D/F#]second date
[Em]Mamma's all worried when you [G]get home late
And [C]droppin the ring in the [Em7/B]spaghetti plate,
Cause your [Am]hands are [Em7/B]shaking so [C]much[D]
It's the [G]way she looks with [D/F#]rice in her hair
[Em]Eatin burnt suppers the [G]whole first year
[C]And askin for seconds, to [Em7/B]keep her from [Am]tearin [Em7/B]up,[C]
Yeah [D]man that's the [G]Good [D][C]Stuff[C][Cadd9]
He grabbed a [G]carton of milk and [D/F#]poured a glass
[Em] And I smiled and said I'll [G]have some of that
We [C]sat there and talked as an [Em7/B]hour passed like [Am]ol' [Asus2]friends[Am]
Saw a [G]black and white picture and it [D/F#]caught my stare
Was a[Em] pretty girl with [G]bouffant hair
He said[C] that's my Bonnie, [Em7/B]takin bout a year after [Am]we [Asus2][Am]wed[Em7/B]
He said I [C]spent five years in the [D]bottle when the [C]cancer took her from [D]me
[C]I've been sober [D]three years now,
Cause the [Am]one thing [Em7/B]stronger than the [C]whiskey[D] was the
The [G]sight of her holdn my [D/F#]baby girl
The [Em]way she adored that [G]string of pearls
I [C]gave her the day that our [Em7/B]youngest boy Earl
[Am]Married his [Em7/B]high school [C]love[D]
And it's a [G]new T-shirt sayin [D/F#]I'm a Grandpa
[Em]Being right there as our [G]time got small
And [C]holding her hand, when the [Em7/B]good lord [Am]called her [Em7/B]up[C]
Yeah [D]man that's the [G]Good [D][C]Stuff[C][Cadd9]
[G] [D/F#] [C]
He said when [D]you get home she'll [G]start to cry
When she [D]says I'm sorry, say [G]so am I
And [G]look [D/F#]into those [Em]eyes [D]so deep in [C][Cadd9]love[C]
And drink it [D]up
Cause that's the [G]Good [D/F#][C]Stuff[C][Cadd9]
That's the [G]Good [D/F#][C]Stuff[C][Cadd9]
