Transcribed by: [email protected] (Les Stapp) Subject: Kenny Chesney "The Good Stuff" "The Good Stuff" Written By: Craig Wiseman/Jim Collins Performed By: Kenny Chesney on CD "No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problems" (Intro) Well me and my lady had our first big fight, So I drove around till I saw the neon lights, At a corner bar, and it just seemed right, so I pulled up, Not a soul around but the ol' barkeep, Down at the end lookin half asleep, But he walked up and said what'll it be? I said the Good Stuff, He didn't reach around for the whiskey, He didn't pour me a beer, His blue eyes kinda went misty, Said you can't find that here, Cause it's the first long kiss on a second date Mamma's all worried when you get home late And droppin the ring in the spaghetti plate, Cause your hands are shaking so much It's the way she looks with rice in her hair Eatin burnt suppers the whole first year And askin for seconds, to keep her from tearin up, Yeah man that's the Good Stuff He grabbed a carton of milk and poured a glass I smiled and said I'll have some of that We sat there and talked as an hour passed like ol' friends Saw a black and white picture and it caught my stare Was a pretty girl with bouffant hair He said that's my Bonnie, takin bout a year after we wed He said spent five years in the bottle when the cancer took her from me I've been sober for three years now, Cause the one thing stronger than the whiskey was the The sight of her holdn 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 sayin I'm a Grand Pa 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 That's all there is to it folks! Just listen to the song for the chord progression to get it right.
