Cheap Whiskey

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 
In his hand he is holding her 
     A E
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.
