Chords for Drunkard's Doom Louvin Brothers

_ _ _ [C] It _ [G] _ _
[F] _ _ was on one dark and starless night,
[C] I heard and saw an [F] awful sigh.
The lightning flashed, the thunder rolled
Across [C] my dark, denial soul.
[F] I saw above, far down below,
Where all the [C] _ dying [F] drunkards go.
I saw _ another weeping frown,
But shunned and [C] my _ [F] voice is loud.
Come here young man, you room,
This [C] is the _ whiskey [F] cellar's doom.
I started out, _ _ _ _ [Cm] but _ [C] fake, a social flag.
_ But every time I started in,
I [C] thought about the [F] drunkard's sin.
I stashed it down, _ _ _ I [C] went to _ seek,
A redeeming [F] grave.
I felt like _ tossed, did pray,
For [Cm] God to _ wash his [F] sins away.
I started home, to change my life,
To [C] see my loving, _ [F] neglected wife.
[Cm] I found her [F] _ weeping o'er the bed,
[C] Because our infant babe was dead.
[F] I told her not, _
_ [C] _ _ the baby had [F] gone to sleep.
His little soul passed _ away,
[C] The ring was _ fast, [F] an endless day.
I took her by the _ _ _ hand, she [C] was so weak,
She [F] could not stand.
I knelt her down, [C] and prayed a prayer,
That [C] God might save and [F] bless us five.
And now I _ live a better life,
In a [C] Christian home, and a [F] loving wife. _ _ _ _ _ _
