[Verse 1]
Dm                Bb
Hank Williams, he came up from 
Montgomery
       C                           
With a heartful of hard-luck 
  Dm
country songs
Dm                   Bb
Nashville Tennessee, they didn't 
understand him
      C                            
Cause he did things differently 
      Dm
than the way that they were done
            Bb                     
But when he finally made it to the 
              Dm
Grand Ol Opry he made it stand still
   C                       Dm
He ended up on alcohol and pills


[Verse 2]
Dm             Bb
Elvis Presley, he came up from 
Jackson
       C                           
With a brand new way of singin', a 
Dm
brand new way of dancin'
Dm                          Bb
And even from the waist up, he gave 
the world a thrill
   C                       Dm
He ended up on alcohol and pills


[Chorus]
F                  C
Alcohol and pills, is a cryin' shame

    Gm                             
You think they might have been 
           Bb
happy with the glory and the fame
    F                              
But fame don't take away the pain, 
    C
it just pays the bills
        Gm         Bb          Dm
And you wind up on alcohol and pills


[Verse 3]
Dm            Bb
Janis Joplin, she was wild and 
reckless
C                                 
Then there was Gram Parsons, then 
Dm
there was Jimmy Hendrix
Dm                                
The story just goes on and on and 
  Bb
I guess it always will
     C                       Dm
They ended up on alcohol and pills

[Chorus]
F                  C
Alcohol and pills, is a cryin' shame
    Gm                             
You think they might have been 
           Bb
happy with the glory and the fame
    F                              
But fame don't take away the pain, 
    C
it just pays the bills
        Gm         Bb          Dm
And you wind up on alcohol and pills

[Bridge]
Gm                 Dm
Sometimes somebody won't wake up one
 day
    Gm                        
Sometimes it's a heart attack, 
  C
sometimes they won't say
          Dm                  
When they pulled poor old Hank 
                   Bb
Williams out of a Cadillac 
Coupe-Deville
C                          Dm
He ended up on alcohol and pills


[Chorus]
F                  C
Alcohol and pills, is a cryin' shame
    Gm                             
You think they might have been 
           Bb
happy with the glory and the fame
    F                              
But fame don't take away the pain, 
    C
it just pays the bills
        Gm         Bb          Dm
And you wind up on alcohol and pills
