Biography:
By most accounts, George Jones (born George Glenn Jones September 12, 1931 in Saratoga, Texas, died April 26, 2013, in Nashville, Tennessee), was the finest vocalist in the recorded history of country music. Initially, he was a hardcore honky tonker in the tradition of Hank Williams, but over the course of his career he developed an affecting, nuanced ballad style. In the course of his career, he never left the top of the country charts, even as he suffered innumerable personal and professional difficulties.

Hundred Proof Memories
Recorded by George Jones
Written by Keith Stegall and Zack Turner
[3/4 time]
C F C
Love on the rocks that's all he said
G7
As he sat there beside me shaking his head
C F C
I said mister you look like you're taking it rough
G7 C
The next round's on me he said I don't touch the stuff
F C
Cause these hundred proof memories are stronger than wine
G7 C
It don't take but one taste to send you out of your mind
F C
No I don't want the whiskey but I could sure use a ride
G7 C
Cause with hundred proof memories Lord you don't think and drive
F C
He said I quit drinking the day that she left
G7
I come here out of habit in spite of myself
C F C
But there ain't no liquor that money can buy
G7 C
That's stronger than what's bottled up inside
