[F] [C] [Dm]
[Bb]
[C] [F]
[Bb] [F]
They could quit [Bb] making whiskey, they could stop [F] stomping grapes.
If it wasn't for fools like [G] me with hearts [C] that break.
They could close [Bb] all the breweries, and they could lock up [F] the bars.
If it wasn't for women [Bb] like you [C] with these loving [F]
scars.
And I can't [Bb] quit drinking, Lord knows [F] I've tried.
I'm gonna [Dm]
wear this whiskey [G] glass there, till my memories [C] go blind.
I can't [Bb] quit drinking, and it'll kill me [F] they say.
And if heaven's [D] sweet shores [F] have swinging [Bb]
doors, [C] I'll find you [F]
someday.
You know I've thought it [Bb] all over, and I still [F] don't understand.
With millions of women, [G] how could one mean so much [C] to a man?
A woman [Bb] and whiskey, there's so [F] much alike.
But just when you need them [Bb] the most, [C] you're left [F] high and dry.
And I can't [Bb] quit drinking, Lord knows I've [F] tried.
So I'm [Dm] gonna wear this [G] whiskey glass there, till my memories go [C] blind.
I [Bb] can't quit drinking, and it'll kill me [F]
they say.
And if heaven's [Dm] sweet shores [C] have swinging [Bb]
doors, [C] I'll find you [F]
someday.
[Gm] [F]
Yes, if [C] heaven's [D] sweet shores [F] have [Bb] swinging doors, I'll [C]
find you someday.
[F] [Gm] [F]
