Patty Loveless - Cheap Whiskey guitar chord

(By Emory Gordon Jr./Jim Rushing)

As Sung By Patty Loveless on Mountain Soul

CAPO 2

A A/E F#m A/E

He sits all alone in his easy chair

A E A A/E

Staring back on his lost yesterdays

A A/E F#m A/E

Long before he encountered the bottle

A E A A/E A A/E

And the demons that drove her away

A A/E F#m A/E

In his hand he is holding her photograph

A E A A/E

Her image all tear-stained and worn

A A/E F#m A/E

Tonight he's embracing reality

A E A A/(bass walk A/B/C#)

And he curses the day he was born

Chorus:

D A

And the darkness still echoes her warning

D A F#m

You can't have two loves in your life

A

Now the things that will haunt him

D

Until the day that he dies

A

Is the smell of cheap whiskey

E A A

And the sound of goodbye

A F#m

Since the hour that she left he's been sober

A E A

And each breath that he draws makes him think

A F#m

About the light of his life gone forever

A E A

When he traded her love for a drink

(chorus x2), between play:

D (4 meas) A (2 m) E (1 m) A (3 m )

Notes: Between A and D and from D to A there are bass

walk-up (A/B/C#/D) and walk downs (D/C#/B/A) in a lot of

places. Listen to it, it'll make sense.

My first submission. Hope someone likes it!
