A moonshiner's life is a [G]hell

Yeah you're always on the run and
[G]can't trust no one
When you're [A]making that
good ol' mountain [D]dew
[A]A moo[D]nshiner's life is a hel[G]l of a life
When you [A]ain't got nothing [D]to loose.

Well a moonshiner's [D]life
is a [G]damn good life
Cuz he [A]ain't got no big city [D]blues

To [A]help him make it [D]through
A moonshiner's life is a [G]hell of a life
