D    G


[Verse 1]
G                                 C            G
Well, I woke up last night from a terrible old dream
                          A7          D
My heart was poundin' and I let out a scream
C                   G
 Woah what a price, lord, what a fear
                             D          G
I dreamed that the world had run out of beer


[Verse 2]
      G                          C                 G
Well, I ran to the kitchen and I opened up the ice-box
                                A7          D
Well, I hugged my sixpack and I popped me a top
C                            G
 I drank down the brew and I let out a sigh
                               D                G
Thank God for beer, boys, or I think I'd surely die


[Verse 3]
                G            C          G
Hey, what would happen if we ran out of beer
                               A7            D
I know this old world wouldn't last one more year
    C                          G
The bars would all close, we'd all drown in our tears
                       D          G
If this old world ever ran out of beer


[Instrumental Bridge]
D    G


[Verse 4]
  G                        C          G
If what would happen if we ran out of beer
                               A7                     D
There'd be no hangovers and the honky-tonks would disappear
    C                           G
The cowboys they would cry, the preachers would all cheer
                               D          G
That is if this old world ever ran out of beer


[Verse 5]
     G                      C                  G
Yeah, thank God for beer, I said thank God for beer
                              A7               D
Well I know He loves us or he wouldn't keep it here
    C                      G
And when I pass on and the angels all draw near
                         D           G
I hope that heaven has a place to my beer


[Otro]
            G
And I still wonder what would happen
       D                G
If the world ran out of beer
