C
the bars are all closed

it’s four in the morning

must have shut’em all down
G
by the shape that i’m in
C
i lay my head on the wheel

and the horn begins honking

the whole neighborhood knows
G C
that i’m home D runk again

chorus :
F C
and if drinking don’t kill me
G
her memory will
F
i can’t hold out much longer
C
the way that i feel
F C
with the blood from my body
F
i could start my own still
C
and if drinking don’t kill me
G C
her mem ory will
C
these will old B ones they move slow

but so sure of their footsteps
G
as i trip on the floor and lightly touch down
C
lord it’ s been ten bottles since i tried to forget her
G C
but the memory still lingers lying here on the gr ound

repeat chorus :
