If Drinking Don't Kill Me

George Jones


Tom: F#

Capo 2 
 
 
    E 
The bars are all closed 
     A           E 
It's four in the morning 
          E  
Must have shut 'em all down 
       E              B  
By the shape that I'm in 
         E 
I lay my head on the wheel 
        A           E 
And the horn begins honking 
          E  
The whole neighborhood knows 
         B          E 
That I'm home drunk again 
 

                      A    E 
And if drinking don't kill me 
           B 
Her memory will 
        B             A  B 
I can't hold out much longer 
               E  
The way that I feel 
                       A E 
With the blood from my body 
                     A 
I could start my own still 
    A                 E 
But if drinking don't kill me 
    B      E 
Her memory will  
 
 
 
These will old bones they move slow 
But so sure of their footsteps 
As I trip on the floor and lightly touch down 
Lord it's been ten bottles since I tried to forget her 
But the memory still lingers lying here on the ground 
 
Chorus
