By George Jones



Capo 1st fret

D

The bars are all closed



It?s four in the morning



Must have shut?em all down

A

By the shape that I?m in

D

I lay my head on the wheel



And the horn begins honking



The whole neighborhood knows

A D

That I?m home drunk again



Chorus:

G D

And if drinking don?t kill me

A

Her memory will

G

I can?t hold out much longer

D

The way that I feel

G D

With the blood from my body

G

I could start my own still

D

And if drinking don?t kill me

A D

Her memory will

D

These will old bones they move slow



But so sure of their footsteps

A

As I trip on the floor and lightly touch down

D

Lord it?s been ten bottles since I tried to forget her

A D

But the memory still lingers lying here on the ground



repeat chorus:
