[Intro]
Am F C C
[Verse 1]
C
He was brought up like a sailor,
F
A pirate of the streets,
C G
Stealing booty, booze, and dirty magazines
Am F C G
The rainy days come, the rainy days go,
Am G C
The whiskey, the liar, the thief!
[Verse 2]
C
She was coddled like a princess,
F
And promised as a bride,
C G
Lady Jekyll had a secret life to hide
Am F C G
So through the window she'd creep when her father fell asleep,
Am G C
The whiskey, the liar, the thief!
[Chorus]
F C
She bats her eyes and lies about her ring,
F C G
He used the coin he stole to buy the drinks.
Am F C G
Never thought they'd find love drowning sorrows at the pub,
Am G C
The whiskey, the liar, the thief!
[Verse 3]
C
He never made an honest buck,
F
She only borrowed from the truth,
C G
They were the greatest match that hell had ever seen
Am F C G
But if you reap what you sew, it doesn't matter where you go,
Am G C
The whiskey, the liar, the thief!
[Chorus]
F C
She bats her eyes and lies about her ring,
F C G
The coin he stole is buying all the drinks.
Am F C G
It's the devil's first mate and a drunken runaway
Am G C
The whiskey, the liar, the thief!
[Instrumental]

Am G C
[Bridge]
C
A round for our two lovers,
F
In this bar stool fairy tale,
C G
Giving something for us bastards to believe
C F C G
You never think you'll find love drowning sorrows at the pub,
Am G C
With whiskey, And liars, and thieves!
[Chorus]
F C
A toast to those who stole another day (one more day!),
F C G
A round to those who lied to get away (one more drink?)
Am F C G
And to those who found love drowning sorrows at the pub,
Am F C G
Some day you'll find love drowning sorrows at the pub,
Am F C G
Never thought they'd find love drowning sorrows at the pub,
Am G C
The whiskey, the liar, the thief!
[Outro]
