D                    A
Hemingway’s whiskey, warm and smooth and mean
Bm                       G
Even when it burns it’ll always finish clean
           D                                A
He did not like it watered down, he took it straight up and neat
          Bm                               G
If it was bad enough for him you know it’s bad enough for me
D                    A    Bm    G
Hemingway’s whiskey

[Verse 2]
D                                     A
You know it’s tough out there, a good muse is hard to find
       Bm                    G
Living one word to the next, one line at a time
            D                                  A
Now there’s more to life then whiskey, there’s more to words than rhyme
Bm                       G
Sometimes nothing works, sometimes nothing shines
     D
Like Hemingway’s whiskey

[Break]
     A    Bm    G
D    A    Bm    G

[Chorus]
A                    G
Sail away, sail away as the day grows dim
Em                  A
Live hard, die hard, this one’s for him

[Verse 3]
D                    A
Hemingway’s whiskey, warm and smooth and mean
Bm                       G
Even when it burns it’ll always finish clean
           D                                A
He did not like it watered down, he took it straight up and neat
          Bm                               G
If it was bad enough for him you know it’s bad enough for me
D                    A    Bm    G    D
Hemingway’s whiskey
