No Capo, Standard Tuning
Intro: G D C D
verse 1:
G
A goodbye letter
D
My old hat
C
Is telling me she's had enough
D
and she ain't coming back
G
Picture on the wall
D
Staring back at me
C
Its burning a hole right through my soul
D
It brings me to my knees
Em
I'm headed out the door
D
to do all the wrong things right
C
'Cause there's only one thing
D
that will get me through this night
Chorus 1:
G
All I need is hard whiskey
D
A soft place to fall
C
A jukebox full of George Jones Songs
D
Hey I won't miss her at all
G
All I need is hard whiskey
D
Just a little time
C
Pay for one more drink
D G D C D
And I'll be doing fine
verse 2:
G
Well I always said her leaving
D
Would never get to me
C
So I turn to you, whiskey
D
to drown a memory
G
Brown poison in a black-labeled bottle
D
she burns going down
C
But its better than the pain I feel
D
Wishing she was still around
Em
Maybe someday
D
I'll find a better way
C
And she'll come back to me
D
But it won't be today
Solo: G D C D x2
Chorus 2:
G
All I need is hard whiskey
D
a soft place to fall
C
someone to drive me home
D
or some old friends I can call
G
All I need is hard whiskey
D
Just a little time
C
Pay for one more drink
D G D C D
And I'll be doing fine
