_ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
_ That psyched out psychologist [F] asked me about my [C] drinking _ _ ways. _
_ [F] Every question that he asked me all related back unto my [C] childhood days. _ _ _ _
_ [F] But if the truth was known, I never took the drinkin' long, [C] long as she was mine. _ _
But when she left me, I went to [G] hell, and heaven was a [C] drink of wine. _ _ _ _
_ That good doctor said, look at [F] all these ink spots and tell me [C] what you see. _ _
_ Could I [F] help it if they all looked like big old broken [C] hearts to me? _ _ _
_ _ [F] All my friends and kin will tell you, old hag ain't the [C] drinkin' kind. _ _ _ _
But when she left me, I went to [G] hell, and heaven was a [C] drink of wine. _ _ _
_ [F] Get back, get back, get on back and leave [C] me alone. _ _ _ _
_ [F] Can't you see that you can't help a man that's [G] just [Dm] foregone?
_ [G] _ _
_ _ [C] Hey, good doctor, [F] _
I've got something you [C] can't find in my mind. _
_ When she left me, I went to hell, [G] and heaven was a [C] drink of wine. _ _ _
_ _ Hey, good doctor, _ [G] heaven was a drink [C] of wine. _ _ _ _ _
