D5 C3 D/A
D5 (continue the intro throughout)
[Verse]
D5 C3
I rode up into town with a half empty bottle
D5 C3
I threw it on the ground, that damn warm whiskey
D5 C3
I mounted off my mare with a half empty shotgun
D5 C3
But I don't seem to care, I'm gettin' more tonight
D5 C3
I walk through the swingin' doors with my head down
D5 C3
They all saw me keepin' eyes with the floor
D5 C3
I walked up to the bar with a dead cold feeling
D5 C3
I'd made it this far, I was gettin' more tonight
[Chorus]
D/A C3
Still holding my half empty shotgun
D5 C3
Still hoping for a time to use it right
D/A C3
Keep on looking for the right kind of victim
D5 C3
How this whiskey is the death of the night
[Verse]
D5 C3
I grabbed the man by his own blue collar
D5 C3
Said "In my hand, there should be a drink"
D5 C3
I knocked away the glass and only took the bottle
D5 C3
And rode away again, I'm gettin' more tonight
[Chorus]
D/A C3
Still holding my half empty shotgun
D5 C3
Still hoping for a time to use it right
D/A C3
Keep on looking for the right kind of victim
D5 C3
How this whiskey is the death of the night
[Verse]
D5 C3
I'd just got out of town, surrounded by a clear night
D5 C3
I thought I could try and catch up with the sun
D5 C3
All I found was my feet falling all the way
D5 C3
To the ground by myself there I lay
D5 C3
I didn't move but the world wouldn't stop turning
D5 C3
The sky seemed blue, but it was only my emotions
D5 C3
I tried so hard to be so cool
D5 C3
With a half empty bottle, or is it half full
D5 C3
I rode back to town with a hand full of leather
D5 C3
I jumped to the ground when I reached the world
D5 C3
Took out my half empty shotgun and pulled the
D5 C3
Trigger that made my life unwind
D5 C3
I guess I got mine tonight
