CAPO I
[Intro]
G
D C G
Where did all my friends go
D C G
What happened to my scene
D C G
Feels like the Memphis Mafia
D C G
Up and left the king
D C G
And I've been swimmin' for redemption
D C G
But I'm drownin' in beaurocracy
D C G
And I can't find exemption
D C G
From all this mediocrity, and
[Chorus]
D G C G
The whiskey and women in this town are killin' me
D Em C D
If I don't put new boots on I won't ever get on my feet
D C G D C Em
I've been runnin' with the devil and it's gonna be hell to pay
D C G D C G D C G
If I don't get to Austin I swear I'm gonna fade awayyy-ayyyy-yeah
D C G
I swear I'm gonna fade away
D C G
Gonna fade awayyyy-yeah-yeah
D C G
I swear I'm gonna fade away, oh now I
D C G
I don't mean to b***h and judge
D C G
But baby I gotta go
D C G
Where they still play Merle Haggard
D C G
And the girls love to rock 'n roll
D C G
And I been lookin' for perspective
D C G
Between the highway signs
D C G
But all roads lead to Texas
D C G
Ya'll look me up sometime, 'cause
[Chorus]
D G C G
The whiskey and women in this town are killin' me
D Em C D
If I don't put new boots on I won't ever get on my feet
D C G D C Em
I've been runnin' with the devil and there's gonna be hell to pay
D C G C C G
If I don't get to Austin I swear I'm gonna fade away
D C G
Gone fade away-ayy-yeah
D C G
I swear I'm gonna fade away
[Chorus]
D G C G
Yeah the whiskey and women in this town are killin' me
D Em C D
If I don't put new boots on I won't ever get on my feet
D C G D C Em
I've been runnin' with the devil and it's gonna be hell to pay
D C G D C G
If I don't get to Austin I swear I'm gonna fade away
