Ringing in the Year
Turnpike Troubadours
Album: The Turnpike Troubadours (2015)
Intro:
| C|Em| F| C| C| F|C  
Verse:
             |            C|            Em|              F|C  
I thought it better not to talk about the letter that you sent
       |            G|               F|              C|G  
It was no one else's business; it was barely even mine
    |        C|          Em|            F|C  
The situation went the way the situation went
   |                  G|             F|      C|       G|   F  
We shook that s**t off of our shoes a hundred thousand times
Chorus:
     |                 Am|             G|F  
Well won't you miss your whiskey in the wintertime, my dear?
    |                 C|               G|F  
The way that I've been missing you this fall
    |                   Am|               G|F  
And cheap champagne don't dull the pain of ringing in the year
|               C|             G|F  
Wondering if you think of me at all
| C|Em| F| C| C| F|C  
Verse:
           |       C|            Em|               F|C  
The fool I loved in Kansas was the fool I loved the best
         |             G|                F| C|G  
You were fool enough to fall in love with me
            |        C|               Em|            F|C  
We were two tornadoes touching down out in the old midwest
       |              G|                F| C|  G  
And we did our best at dodging the debris
Chorus:
     |                 Am|             G|F  
Well won't you miss your whiskey in the wintertime, my dear?
    |                 C|               G|F  
The way that I've been missing you this fall
    |                   Am|               G|F  
And cheap champagne don't dull the pain of ringing in the year
|               C|             G|F  
Wondering if you think of me at all
| C|Em| F| C| C| F| C  
Verse:
       |            C|              Em|                  F|C  
With a little more resolve I might be somewhere else with you
         |          G|                F|  C|G  
But I'll make no resolution of the kind
     |                  C|                Em|                 F|C  
So I guess it's just God bless, and you did all that you could do
    |                G|         F|    C|        G|  F  
Let all the claims be forgot and never brought to mind
    |           Am|           G|F  
Two roman candles cut across a January sky
Chorus:
     |                 Am|             G|F  
Well won't you miss your whiskey in the wintertime, my dear?
    |                 C|               G|F  
The way that I've been missing you this fall
    |                   Am|               G|F  
And cheap champagne don't dull the pain of ringing in the year
|               C|             G|F  
Wondering if you think of me at all
             |               C|             G|F  
Well I still wonder about you sometimes, you know
| C| G| C|F
