C
He pulled out the mason jar
G
I'd heard them rumors from Frank Hauser
C G
The story goes that every few years
Am
Slim says "Boys, I gotta go. So drink one more with me."
Dm
We pass the jar around
G
The drink then fell down off of our face
G
And Slim thought he won, Cause we
G C
We were all cryin'
G
He softened our senses with his drink
C
And he started cryin'
G
Blubberin' "you boys meant so much to me
Am
And if you do love me
Dm
Then let my exit be easy"
G
"Well, Slim, I love you more than myself
G
But we've no time to miss ya'
G C
Cause we must stop this lyin'
G
Slim, you hurt us to the core."
C
We all felt like dyin'
G
Then we took one more drink from the jar
Am
Then your drink made our senses say no to your plan
Dm
We've banded together, Slim
N.C.
One more chance!
G
But this time around if you mess with our heart
N.C.
We'll force you to drink from our own mason jar
C
- and you'll be left cryin'
[Slim]
G
"I already am, why don't you listen to me?
C
I also feel like dyin'
G
Why can't you quit my world and let me be?
F
It's so conceited to think that you can
G
Survive my jar, survive my plan
I'd thought your egos make property cringe
C
I'll take up this challenge and I'll keep on tryin'
G
I can't guarantee my heart won't come loose
C
And send me home cryin'
G
In my name's sake, cracker, what's the use?
F
On the way home I'll probably crash and burn
G
Cause a Cessna can't ever seem to learn
That a man was never meant to be so high
Oh Why! Why! Why! Why!
C
Comes back to cryin'"
G
"I'll drink one more with you again
C
This jar will never be dryin'
G
Forever put our tears within
Then we'll take this jar around the world
Quenchin' every boy and girl
And when they drink our tears down
N.C.
And when they drink our tears down!"
[Munly]
C
"Well, they'll be left cryin'"
[Slim]
G
"Just like I planned from the start"
C
"So, Slim, you're still lyin'!"
[Slim]
"No, you still don't listen
G
Now put your hand on my heart
Am
Why must you always put up a fight?
Dm
Go on, take a drink, live your life and cry..."
[Munly]
G
"Slim, I finally understand"
[Slim]
N.C.
"So, you'll agree to be part of this plan"
[Munly]
N.C.
"Like them people before me you left in the ditch
N.C.
Jon Killough, Bob Caleb..."
[Slim]
N.C.
"...yes, there's too many to list"
[Both]
N.C.
"So people lift up your own mason jars and understand
C
We're gonna leave you cryin'"
