4 5 6 -6 6 5
The bars are all clos-ed
6 -6 -6 6 5 4
It’s four in the morn-ing
4 4 5 6 -6 45
Must of shut them all down
3 3 5 -4 4 -4
By the shape that I’m in
4 4 4 5 6 -6 65
I lay my hand on the wheel
6 6 -6 5 6 6 5
And the horn be-gins honk-in’
4 5 6 -6 65 4
The whole neigh-bor-hood knows
4 -4 5 -4 4
I’m home drunk a-gain
4 4 4 5 6 -6 65
And if drink¬-in’ don’t kill me
4 -3 -3”-4 -3
Her mem-or-y will
3 3 3 -3 -4 -6 6
I can’t hold on much long-er
3 5-4 -4 4
The way I feel
4 4 -4 5 6 -6 65
With the blood from my bod-y
4 4 5 -4 5 4
I could start my own still
-5 -5 -5 6 -6 6 5-44
And if drink-in’ don’t kill me
3 5 -4 4 4
Her mem-or-y will
These old bones move slow
But so sure of their footsteps
As I trip on the floor
And lightly touch down
Lord it’s been ten bottles
Since I tried to forget her
But the mem’ry still lingers
Lyin’ here on the ground
Chorus
Eb
