Needing A Beer(Chords)

	        Intro 

verse 1 
G 
Here's to the daddies who drive 'em big ole trucks 
G 
Doing what they've gotta do to fill their babies' bellies up 
                  C       G 
And here's to the mamas who hold the fort down while they're gone 
G                                                                  C  G 
Making those miles all worthwhile when they get back home 
G                                  C                  G 
And here's to the teachers who are up at the crack of dawn 
G                                           C                       G 
Learning our little ones to read and write, showing them right from wrong 
G                 C           G                        C 
And here's to the doctors who save the little boys and girls 
        G                              D              G 
Who you never know, might one day grow up to save the world 

Chorus 
G                 C       G             C 
And here's to the one who ain't in here tonight 
G                                     D 
Telling jokes and blowing smoke, just soaking up that neon light 
        G               C               G                C 
They're fighting fires, fighting crime, fighting for our lives 
G                                 D 
Lord knows they'd rather be right here 
             C                          D 
So here's to all the ones out there somewhere

But there's hay on the ground and it's gonna pour down and he's running outta light 
G                 C          G                   C 
And here's to the banker who gave him a few more weeks 
          G                               D                  G 
'Cause he knows a man who knows that hard can't lose no more sleep
