[Bm]There is whiskey in the [D]water

[Asus2]And there is "Yours" and there is "Min[Bm]e"
[Bm]There is a desert veiled in [D]pavement

Notes:
During the verse there are several hammer-ons and pull-offs:
For the D chords on the 4th beat pull-off on the bottom string (F# to E)
For the Asus2 chords play the D string open for the first beat and then hammer on the E note X00200 to X02200
For the Em chords I slide up to 044000 on the 4th beat and slide back to 022000 on 4-and before moving to Bm
If two Bm are played in a row, on the 4th beat of the first Bm open the A string and hammer on the B note
back on for the First beat of the second Bm chord.
The A* in the chorus is an open A string played by itself.
The G(1) chord (sorry I don't know the name of it is basically the Bm chord with your index finger on the
G note on the top E string 3x4430
F#m(1) is the 2x4430
