Loveless Patty - Cheap Whiskey guitar tab

CHEAP WHISKEY (Jim Rushing - Emory Gordy, Jr.)

performed by Patty Loveless on MOUNTAIN SOUL (2001)

KEY OF B, 3/4 meter

capo 4, play in G

G Em

He sits all alone in his easy chair

G D G

Staring back on his lost yesterdays

G Em

Long before he enountered the bottle

G D G

And the demons that drove her away

G Em

In his hand he is holding her photograph

G D G

Her image all tear-stained and worn

G Em

Tonight he's embracing reality

G D G

And he curses the day he was born

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

C

Till the day that he dies

G

Is the smell of cheap whiskey

G F G

And the sound of goodbye

G Em

Since the hour she left he's been sober

G D G

And each breath that he draws makes him think

G Em

Of the love of his life lost forever

G D G

When he traded her love for a drink

REPEAT CHORUS
