A Hard Lesson To Learn

E   E7   E   E7   E

[Verse]
        E
Well, I heard Jimmy Rogers sing
      A                      E
On my daddy's old record machine
                    E
Something 'bout how when you've got 
love
                          B
All you've got is love to lose
         E
And if I learned one thing about 
Hank
        A                      
Is that him and his kin like to 
 E
drink
E                    B    
Living whiskey bent, feeling 
            E
lovesick blues

Straight to hell

[Chorus]
      A
I'm a whiskey drinking, new low 
sinking
                       E
Love 'em and leave 'em kind
       A
And if it's worth keeping, you 
better believe it
                      B
I'm losing it with my mind
          E
And you'd think I'd pick up from one
 of them songs
     A                  E
Just one way not to get burnt

But it's the same old bottle
    B
The same old blues
                        E
The same hard lesson to learn

[Verse]
        E
Well, I heard that old George Jones
         A                    E
Bottomed out from all of the no 
shows
          E                     
Girl, I'm watching my heroes run 
                   B7
away like hall up pow
      E
And I live like a rolling stone
      A                       E
Ain't worth it if I gotta be alone
       E                 B   
On the lost highway, the devil 
               E
collects the tolls

[Chorus]
      A
I'm a whiskey drinking, new low 
sinking
                       E
Love 'em and leave 'em kind
       A
And if it's worth keeping, you 
better believe it
                      B
I'm losing it with my mind
          E
And you'd think I'd pick up from one
 of them songs
     A                  E
Just one way not to get burnt
             E
But it's the same old bottle
    B
The same old blues
                            E
And the same hard lesson to learn

[Solo]
E7   A   Em7   E7   A   B

[Chorus]
          E
And you'd think I'd pick up from one
 of them songs
     A                  E
Just one way not to get burnt
             E
But it's the same old bottle
    B
The same old blues
                        E
The same hard lesson to learn
         E
It's the same old bottle
    B
The same old blues
    E
The same hard lesson to learn
