(continue the intro throughout)

[Verse]

D5 C3

I rode up into town with a half empty bottle

D5 C3

I threw it on the ground, that damn warm whiskey

D5 C3

I mounted off my mare with a half empty shotgun

D5 C3

But I don't seem to care, I'm gettin' more tonight

D5 C3

I walk through the swingin' doors with my head down

D5 C3

They all saw me keepin' eyes with the floor

D5 C3

I walked up to the bar with a dead cold feeling

D5 C3

I'd made it this far, I was gettin' more tonight

[Chorus]

D/A C3

Still holding my half empty shotgun

D5 C3

Still hoping for a time to use it right

D/A C3

Keep on looking for the right kind of victim

D5 C3

How this whiskey is the death of the night

[Verse]

D5 C3

I grabbed the man by his own blue collar

D5 C3

Said "In my hand, there should be a drink"

D5 C3

I knocked away the glass and only took the bottle

D5 C3

And rode away again, I'm gettin' more tonight

[Chorus]

D/A C3

Still holding my half empty shotgun

D5 C3

Still hoping for a time to use it right

D/A C3

Keep on looking for the right kind of victim

D5 C3

How this whiskey is the death of the night

[Verse]

D5 C3

I'd just got out of town, surrounded by a clear night

D5 C3

I thought I could try and catch up with the sun

D5 C3

All I found was my feet falling all the way

D5 C3

To the ground by myself there I lay

D5 C3

I didn't move but the world wouldn't stop turning

D5 C3

The sky seemed blue, but it was only my emotions

D5 C3

I tried so hard to be so cool

D5 C3

With a half empty bottle, or is it half full

D5 C3

I rode back to town with a hand full of leather

D5 C3

I jumped to the ground when I reached the world

D5 C3

Took out my half empty shotgun and pulled the

D5 C3

Trigger that made my life unwind

D5 C3

I guess I got mine tonight
