the
fact that I like to drink beer,
D G
D
this
little song is more to the point,
E A
so
roll out the barrel and lend me your ears.
G

I like beer, it makes me a jolly good fellow,
G E
A
I like beer, it helps me unwind and sometimes it makes me feel mellow.

D G D
Whiskey’s too rough, Champagne cost too much,
G
vodka puts my mouth in gear,

2. My wife often frowns when we're out on the town,

and I'm
wearing a suit and a tie.

She's sipping vermouth and she
thinks I'm uncouth

when
I yell as the waiter goes by.

3. Last night I dreamed that I passed from the scene,
A
and I
went to a place so sublime,

the
water was clear and it tasted like beer,
E A
then
they turned it all into wine. (ohhhh)
G

I like beer, it makes me a jolly good fellow,
G E

I like beer, it helps me unwind and sometimes it makes me feel mellow.
