C
The bars are all closed
     F           C
It's four in the morning
 
Must have shut 'em all down
                      G7
By the shape that I'm in
              
              C
I lay my head on the wheel
        F           C
And the horn begins honking
 
The whole neighborhood knows
         G7         C
That I'm home drunk again
 
                      F     C
And if drinking don't k-ill me
           G7
Her memory will
                      F    G7
I can't hold out much long-er
               C
The way that I feel
 
                      F   C
With the blood from my bo-dy
                     F
I could start my own still
                      C
And if drinking don't kill me
    G7     C
Her memory will
 
          
These will old bones they move slow
       F             C  
But so sure of their footsteps
                 
As I trip on the floor 
                    G7
And I lightly touch down
 
          C
Lord it's been ten bottles 
        F        C   
Since I tried to forget her
                             
But the memory still lingers 
G7                C
Lying here on the ground
