[Verse 1]
C
  This old man and me
G
  Were at the bar and we
Am
   Were having us some beers and
F
  Swapping I don't cares
C
  Talking politics
G
  Blonde and red-haired chicks
Am
   Old dogs and new tricks and
F
  Habits we ain't kicked
C
  We talked about God's grace
G
  And all the hell we raised
Am                        F
   Then I heard the ol' man say

[Chorus]
C
  God is great
          G
Beer is good
                 C     G
And people are crazy

[Verse 2]
C
  He said "I fought two wars
G
  Been married and divorced"
Am
   What brings you to Ohio?
F
  He said "Damned if I know"
C
  We talked an hour or two
G
  'Bout every girl we knew
Am
   What all we put 'em through
F
  Like two old boys will do
C
  We pondered life and death
G
  He lit a cigarette
Am                                  F
   Said "These damn things'll kill me yet"

[Chorus]
C
  But God is great
          G
Beer is good
                 C
And people are crazy

[Bridge]
F
  Last call is 2 a.m
Em
   I said goodbye to him
Dm                         G
   I never talked to him again

[Verse 3]
C
  Then one sunny day
G
  I saw the old man's face
Am
   Front page obituary
F
  He was a millionaire-y
C
  He left his fortune to
G
  Some guy he barely knew
Am
   His kids were mad as hell
F
  But me, I'm doing well
C
  And I dropped by today
G
  To just say thanks and pray
Am                                   F
   And I left a six-pack right there on his grave

And I said

[Chorus]
C
  God is great
          G
Beer is good
                 C    C9   F
And people are crazy
C
  God is great
          G
Beer is good
                 Am    Fadd9   F
And people are crazy
C
  God is great
          G
Beer is good
                 C   C   G   G   C   C   G   G   C
And people are crazy
