Short and sweet.
I only play rhythm, which means I am unable/unwilling to decode the violin solo and transcribe it to a tab.
Apologies.
This should be perfectly appropriate to play backup with a violinist though. And if not, stick to shorter
violin solo sections before moving onto the next part of the song, since Em on repeat for 15 seconds is dull.
[INTRO VIOLIN SOLO]
Em
[VERSE 1]
G D Am C
You said I was the one for you, I saw it in yer eyes
G D Am C
Your knight in armor shining bright, all others you despise
Em D C Em
But when you had a shot or two you told me otherwise
Am G C G F C
And that’s when it occurred to me the whiskey never lies
[VERSE 2]
G D Am C
You said you had it bad fer me, you'd take me to the moon
G D Am C
You said no other moved you so, no other made you swoon
Em D Am Em
But when the drink was in your blood you sang another tune
Am G C G F C
And that was when I learned the truth, the whiskey never lies
[CHORUS]
D
It never lies, it never lies
Am G
The whiskey never lies
D
It never lies, it never lies
Am D
The whiskey never lies
Em D Am Em
So when the bottle’s empty, I can see through your disguise
Am G C G F Em
You better mind your tongue, because the whiskey never lies
[VIOLIN SOLO]
Em
[VERSE 3]
G D Am C
You said you saw something in me, a diamond in the rough
G D Am C
You said "A rose amid the thorns, and that would be enough,"
Em D Am Em
But when you’d had the Jameson’s you said some other stuff
Am G C G F C
And now I’ve heard the gospel, that the whiskey never lies
[CHORUS]
D
It never lies, it never lies
Am G
The whiskey never lies
D
It never lies, it never lies
Am D
The whiskey never lies
Em D Am Em
So when the bottle’s empty, I can see through your disguise
Am G C G F C
You better mind your tongue, because the whiskey never lies
[CHORUS]
D
It never lies, it never lies
Am G
The whiskey never lies
D
It never lies, it never lies
Am D
The whiskey never lies
Em D Am Em
So when the bottle’s empty, I can see through your disguise
Am G C G F Em
You better mind your tongue, because the whiskey never lies
[VIOLIN SOLO]
Em
