Whiskey And Jail

Key of G · Chords: I II IV V

Verse 1

G              G7           C
As I set here alone in this jail house
    D                           G
And think of the people who are free
              G7              C
I know I'd be out there among them
         G         D              G
But just look what whiskey did to me

D7                                     G
It made me do things I'd never dreamed of
   A                       D
It made me a slave to this jail
       G                 G7            C
Now my friends know that I love my whiskey
    G       D7         G
Too much to ever go my bail

Talking

G                                   G7                      C
You know whiskey made me think that times I was quite a big shot
       D                                                  G
Yes, I even got to thinking that nobody could throw me in jail
                                                 G7                         C
But friend, I've got the bumps on this here head of mine from the old black jack
        G                                       D          G
And not one friend left in the world that would even go my bail
G                          G7               C
I keep walking up and down this dingy, dark cell
            D                                    G
Knowing all the time how different my life could be
                                        G7             C
I know, too that the only reason in the world that I'm here now
             G                                    D               G
That's right friend, it's from what that mean old whiskey done to me

Verse 3

D7                    G
Whiskey, whiskey, you devil
    A                       D7
You made me a slave to this cell
     G          G7         C
Oh I wish I had died in my cradle
  G           D                   G
Before I went through this living hell
