Artist: Jesse Stewart
Song: Cold Beer
Transcriber: Waja Wabit
 
This song was made Reddit famous by this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vUEwqDKMvS4),
featuring Jesse Stewart singing it around a campfire.  I transcribed that version.
Its lyrics are based off the song Cry Tunes by Donnie Dumphey.
 
99% of the lyric transcription credit goes to Reddit user seejsk8.
 
The whole song is pretty much just Am C G F, but I worked out the spacing / timing to match the song.
The first few seconds of the song were cut off in the video, so I pieced it together myself.
 
Enjoy :)
 
 
[Intro]
 
Am C G F
Am C G F
 
 
[Verse]
 
  Am                       C
I kinda get broken when it comes to emotion,
G                             F
  Makes me start choking so I,  sit by the ocean
Am                      C
Spent my last buck on a,  bottle of whiskey
G                          F
  Drunk and broke, sittin' here in history
  Am              C
I made my mind up,  how I'm going
  G                              F
I got no where to go, don't know where I'm going
Am                    C
  I do know one thing,  one thing that is true
    G(hold)   F(hold)
Wherever I go,  I'm gonna need you
Am                    C
We just cant let each other go now
G                     F
  We're too close, to ever slow down
Am                 C
  The only one who,  keeps my chin up
G                      F(hold)
When you touch my lips,  we're like two dogs stuck
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Am         C
Cold, cold beer
               G                F
Don't you ever worry I am right here
               Am        C
Never live without you
                   G         F
Don't care what I amount to, no
             Am         C
Talkin' bout cold, cold beer
               G                 F
Don't you ever worry, I am right here
                    Am       C   G   F
Can't ever live without you
 
 
[Verse]
 
  Am             C
I pick you up, I,  take you home
    G                 F(hold)
Sit on my couch, turn off my phone
       Am                C
'Cuz I,  love your taste,  love your smell
G                                     F
Who'd have ever thought that we could do so well
     Am               C
Hell,   I guess we're meant for each other
      G                          F
Sorta like the microphone and my buddy Bruce Buffer
  Am               C
I can't,  really express my joy
      G                      F(hold)
Sorta like a scrap between,  Osgood and Patty Roy
  Am              C
I can't,  take my eyes of you
G                  F
   Went to rehab,  thought that I lost you
    Am                      C
But now we're back together,  with a vengeance
G                  F(hold)
Must be my little, Irish decendance.
   Am                            C
It feels pretty good to get this,  off my chest
     G                    F
Even though people sayin, Jesse's obsessed
     Am         C
Well maybe I am,  maybe they're right
    G                         F(hold)
One thing that I know, it was love at first sight
 
 
[Chorus]
 
     Am         C
Yeah cold, cold beer
               G                 F
Don't you ever worry, I am right here
                   Am       C
Can never live without you
                G        F
I wouldn't even want to
   Am        C
Co-old, cold beer
               G               F
Don't you ever worry, I am right here
               Am       C
Never live without you
                       G         F
You don't care what I amount to
 
 
[Instrumental]
 
Am C G F
Am C G F
 
 
[Verse]
 
         Am                   C
Well I'm sitting on my stoop, feelin' kinda lonely
G                           F
Me and Brenda fightin' so I,  called up the homies
    Am                    C
But b'ys busy hangin' out,  in front of Sobey's
        G                     F
There's only one little fella,  who really knows me
   Am                      C
He comes in a little brown,  bottle or can
G                            F
  Sits in my head 'til I can barely stand
     Am                         C
He's,  part of the family, he's,  part of the team
        G(hold)              F(hold)
Took me under his wing when I was just a teen
      Am                             C
Every time he comes around he always,  takes me back
          G                    F
To when I had a fake ID, and a little dirt stash
Am                   C
Road soak, cold pop, 2 4, wob pop
G                  F(hold)
Pop top, twist top,  tall boy cold shot
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Am         C
Beer, cold beer
               G                 F
Don't you ever worry, I am right here
               Am       C
Never live without you
                       G         F
You don't care what I amount to
   Am(hold)   C(hold)
Oh cold, cold beer
               G(hold)          F(hold)
Don't you ever worry I am right here
                    Am       C
Can't ever live without you
                G(hold)  F(hold)
I wouldn't even want to

Try it with a capo on 5, and play Em, G, D, & C open chords for a higher pitch, still no mandolin though.
