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

You can keep playing with the chords while following this picking scheme.
Well, me an' my lady had our first big fight
So I drove around 'til I saw the neon light
A corner bar, an it just seemed right
So I pulled up
Not a soul around but the old bar keep
Down at the end an' looking half asleep
An he walked up, an' 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
He said: "You can't find that here
'Cause it's the first long kiss on a second date
Momma's all worried when you get home late
And droppin' the ring in the spaghetti plate
'Cause your hands are shakin' so much
An' it's the way that she looks with the rice in her hair
Eatin' burnt suppers the whole first year
An' askin' for seconds to keep her from tearin' up
Yeah, man, that's the good stuff"
He grabbed a carton of milk an' he poured a glass
An' I smiled an' said: "I'll have some of that"
We sat there an' talked as an hour passed
Like old friends
I saw a black an' white picture an' it caught my stare
It was a pretty girl with bouffant hair
He said: "That's my Bonnie
Taken 'bout a year after we were wed"
He said "Spent five years in the bar
When the cancer took her from me
But I've been sober three years now
'Cause the one thing stronger than the whiskey
Was the sight of her holdin' 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"
"An' it's a new tee-shirt saying: 'I'm a Grandpa'
Bein' right there as our time got small
An' holdin' 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'
An' look into those eyes, so deep in love
An' drink it up
'Cause that's the good stuff
That's the good stuff"
