Patty Loveless - Cheap Whiskey
CAPO: 4th Fret
INTRO: G
D Em D
He sits all alone in his easy chair
G D G D
Staring back on his lost yesterdays
G D Em D
Long before he encountered the bottle
G D G D G D
And the demons that drove her away_
G D Em D
In his hand he is holding her photograph
G D G D
Her image all tear-stained and worn
G D Em D
Tonight he's embracing reality
G D G G-Gadd9-
And he curses the day he was born
CHORUS:
G C G
And the darkness still echoes her warning
C G Em
You can't have two loves in your life
G
Now the things that will haunt him
G Gadd9 G C
'Til the day that he dies____
G N.C.
Is the smell of cheap whiskey
(D) G F-Em-Dm-G F-Em-
And the sound of goodbye___
Dm G Em
Since the hour that she left he's been sober
G D G
And each breath that he draws makes him think
Em
About the light of his life lost forever
G D G G-Gadd9-
When he traded her love for a drink
CHORUS:
G C G
And the darkness still echoes her warning
C G Em
You can't have two loves in your life
G
Now the things that will haunt him
G Gadd9 G C
'Til the day that he dies____
G N.C.
Is the smell of cheap whiskey
(D) G
And the sound of goodbye___
INSTRUMENTAL: G G-Gadd9-G-C G C G F-Em-Dm-G G-Gadd9-
