Cheap Whiskey Patty Loveless
(By Emory Gordon Jr./Jim Rushing)
As Sung By Patty Loveless on Mountain Soul
CAPO 2
He [A]sits all [A/E]alone in his [F#m]easy chai[A/E]r
Staring [A]back on his [E]lost yester[A]days[A/E]
Long [A]before he en[A/E]countered the [F#m]bottle[A/E]
And the [A]demons that [E]drove her [A]away[A/E] [A] [A/E]
In his [A]hand he is [A/E]holding her [F#m]photograph[A/E]
Her [A]image all [E]tear-stained and [A]worn[A/E]
Toni[A]ght he's em[A/E]bracing re[F#m]ality[A/E]
A E A A/(bass walk A/B/C#)
And he curses the day he was born
Chorus:
And the [D]darkness still echoes her [A]warning
You [D]can't have two [A]loves in your [F#m]life
Now the [A]things that will haunt him
Until the day that he [D]dies
Is the [A]smell of cheap whiskey
And the [E]sound of good[A]bye[A]
Since the [A]hour that she left he's been [F#m]sober
And each [A]breath that he [E]draws makes him [A]think
About the [A]light of his life gone for[F#m]ever
When he [A]traded her [E]love for a [A]drink
(chorus x2), between play:
D (4 meas) A (2 m) E (1 m) A (3 m )
Notes: Between A and D and from D to A there are bass
walk-up (A/B/C#/D) and walk downs (D/C#/B/A) in a lot of
places. Listen to it, it'll make sense.
My first submission. Hope someone likes it!
