Patty Loveless - Cheap Whiskey Chords

(By Emory Gordon Jr./Jim Rushing)
As Sung By Patty Loveless on Mountain Soul

CAPO 2
   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!
