If Drinking Don’t Kill Me

If Drinking Don’t Kill Me
By George Jones
 
C
The bars are all closed
 
It’s four in the morning
 
Must have shut ’em all down
                      G7
By the shape that I’m in
              
              C
I lay my head on the wheel
 
And the horn begins honking
 
The whole neighborhood knows
         G7         C
That I’m home drunk again
 
                F          C
And if drinking don’t kill me
           G7
Her memory will
                      F
I can’t hold out much longer
               C
The way that I feel
 
               F       C
With the blood from my body
                     F
I could start my own still
                           C
And if drinking don’t kill me
    G7     C
Her memory will
 
           C
These will old bones they move slow
 
But so sure of their footsteps
                 G7
As I trip on the floor 
 
And lightly touch down
 
     C
Lord it’s been ten bottles 
 
Since I tried to forget her
                             
But the memory still lingers 
G7                C
Lying here on the ground
