Cheap Whiskey Acordes

	  {By Emory Gordon Jr. Jim Rushing) 
As Sung By Patty Loveless on Mountain Soul 
 
 
   A        A E          F#m      A E 
He sits all alone in his easy chair 
        A           E          A   A E 
Staring back on his lost yesterdays 
     A           A E           F#m   A E 
Long before he encountered the bottle 
        A           E         A      A E  A   A E 
And the demons that drove her away 
 
       A          A E         F#m        A E 
In his hand he is holding her photograph 
    A         E                A      A E 
Her image all tear-stained and worn 
    A          A E       F#m    A E 
Tonight he's embracing reality 
       A          E          A     A (bass walk A B C#) 
And he curses the day he was born 
 
Chorus: 
        D                         A 
And the darkness still echoes her warning 
    D              A             F#m 
You can't have two loves in your life 
        A 
Now the things that will haunt him 
                      D 
Until the day that he dies 
       A 
Is the smell of cheap whiskey 
        E            A           A 
And the sound of goodbye 
 
          A                            F#m 
Since the hour that she left he's been sober 
         A              E               A 
And each breath that he draws makes him think 
          A                         F#m 
About the light of his life gone forever 
        A          E          A 
When he traded her love for a drink 
 
 
(chorus  x2), between play: 
D (4 meas) A (2 m) E (1 m)  A (3 m ) 
 
 
Notes:  Between A and D and from D to A there are bass 
walk-up (A B C# D) and walk downs (D C# B A) in a lot of 
places.  Listen to it, it'll make sense. 
 
My first submission.  Hope someone likes it!
