Capo 2nd Fret
D    D/F#    G
DI just cracked the D/F#top on some GJim Beam I just bought.
Took a Dbig ol' swig an' AI just set her Ddown.
It's a foolish thing to D/F#think, that you could Gkill the hurt with drink,
But it's the Donly thing that AI can think of Dnow.D/C#  
BmGot her down to the top Aof the st Gicker:
I Em7wish this stuff would kick in a little Aquicker.
DI can still see us on that D/F#tiltawhirl, spinnin'.
Cotton Gcandy in the wind she had Amustard on her chin,
From that Dcorn-dog that slipped right D/F#off of the stick,
And that Gtop of the Ferriss wheel Akiss.
I Em7ain't forgot a D/F#bout that Gyet,
But I Em7still have some Awhiskey Dleft.
DSure thought I'd be D/F#able, once I Greached the middle of the label,
That Dsome of those memories would Asomehow wash a Dway.
Now I'm pushin' toward the D/F#bottom, and thoughts of Gher, yeah, I still got 'em.
Those Dshots, I've shot 'em, but they Aain't killed yester Dday.
BmJust a little below Athe st Gicker:
Yeah, I Em7must've got a bad batch of Aliquor.
DI can still see her standin' D/F#there on that sidewalk,
Yellin' Gout for the taxi that would Atake her away,
From the Darms of the one that still D/F#loves her
With all of his Gheart.A  
I Em7ain't forgot a D/F#bout that Gyet,
But I Em7still have some Awhiskey Dleft.
DI just tipped it D/F#up an' took the Glast sip from the cup:
Threw that Dbottle on the Aground an'started to Dcry.
I know that I've had D/F#plenty an' Gnow there just ain't any,
An' DI'm just as empty as that Abottle inside.
