guitar chords lyrics
I can't take credit for these chords. I got them off of cowboylyrics.com
Capo 2nd Fret
Intro: (D) (D/F#) (G)
(D) I just cracked the (D/F#) top on some (G) Jim Beam I just bought.
Took a (D) big ol' swig an' (A) I just set her (D) down.
It's a foolish thing to (D/F#) think, that you could (G) kill the hurt with drink,
But it's the (D) only thing that (A) I can think of (D) now. (D/C#)
(Bm) Got her down to the top (A) of the st(G)icker:
I (Em7) wish this stuff would kick in a little (A) quicker.
(D) I can still see us on that (D/F#) tiltawhirl, spinnin'.
Cotton (G) candy in the wind she had (A) mustard on her chin,
From that (D) corn-dog that slipped right (D/F#) off of the stick,
And that (G) top of the Ferriss wheel (A) kiss.
I (Em7) ain't forgot A(D/F#)bout that (G) yet,
But I (Em7) still have some (A) whiskey (D) left.
(D) Sure thought I'd be (D/F#) able, once I (G) reached the middle of the label,
That (D) some of those memories would (A) somehow wash a(D)way.
Now I'm pushin' toward the (D/F#) bottom, and thoughts of (G) her, yeah, I still got 'em.
Those (D) shots, I've shot 'em, but they (A) ain't killed yester(D)day. (D/C#m)
(Bm) Just A little below (A) the st(G)icker:
Yeah, I (Em7) must've got a bad batch of (A) liquor.
(D) I can still see her standin' (D/F#) there on that sidewalk,
Yellin' (G) out for the taxi that would (A) take her away,
From the (D) arms of the one that still (D/F#) loves her
With all of his (G) heart. (A)
I (Em7) ain't forgot A(D/F#)bout that (G) yet,
But I (Em7) still have some (A) whiskey (D) left.
SOLO
(D) I just tipped it (D/F#) up an' took the (G) last sip from the cup:
Threw that (D) bottle on the (A) ground an'started to (D) cry.
I know that I've had (D/F#) plenty an' (G) now there just ain't any,
An' (D) I'm just as empty as that (A) bottle inside.
