Misery and Gin

Misery and Gin
by Merle Haggard

C
Memories and drinks don't mix too well
                                             F
And jukebox records don't play those wedding bells
G7
Looking at the world through the bottom of a glass
                                C      
All I see is a man who's fading fast

 
Tonight I need that woman again
                                       F
What I'd give for my baby to just walk in
G7
Sit down beside me and say it's alright
                                       C        
Take me home and make sweet love to me tonight

                    C7     F
But here I am again mixing misery and gin
             G7                            C
Sitting with all my friends and talking to myself
  F                                        E7         F
I look like I'm having a good time but any f--ool can tell
          C                                 G7         C     
That this Honkytonk Heaven really makes you f-eel like hell

 
I light a lonely woman's cigarette 
                                            F
We both start talking about what we want to forget
G7
Her life story and mine are the same
                                                C       
We both lost someone and only have ourselves to blame
