Alcohol And Pills

[Verse 1]
Dm                Bb
Hank Williams, he came up from Montgomery
       C                             Dm
With a heartful of hard-luck country songs
Dm                   Bb
Nashville Tennessee, they didn't understand him
      C                                  Dm
Cause he did things differently than the way that they were done
            Bb                                   Dm
But when he finally made it to the 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                           Dm
With a brand new way of singin', a 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                                        Bb
You think they might have been happy with the glory and the fame
    F                                  C
But fame don't take away the pain, 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                                 Dm
Then there was Gram Parsons, then there was Jimmy Hendrix
Dm                                  Bb
The story just goes on and on and 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                                        Bb
You think they might have been happy with the glory and the fame
    F                                  C
But fame don't take away the pain, 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                          C
Sometimes it's a heart attack, sometimes they won't say
          Dm                                     Bb
When they pulled poor old Hank 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                                        Bb
You think they might have been happy with the glory and the fame
    F                                  C
But fame don't take away the pain, it just pays the bills
        Gm         Bb          Dm
And you wind up on alcohol and pills
