Misery and Gin
Performed by Merle Hagard
Verse 1:
D
Memories and drinks don't mix too well.
G
And jukebox records don't play those wedding bells.
C
Starin' at the world through the bottom of a glass,
D D7
All I see is a man who's fading fast.
Verse 2:
D
Tonight I need that woman again.
G
What I'd give for my baby to just walk in.
C
Sit down beside me and say it's alright.
D D7
Take me home and make sweet love to me tonight.
Chorus
G G7 C
But here I am again, mixin' misery and gin.
D D7 G
Sittin' with all my friends and talkin' to myself.
C C(barre) B C
I look like I'm havin' a good time but any fool can tell,
G D D7 G D7
That this Honkytonk Heaven really makes ya' feel like hell.
Verse 3:
D
I light a lonely womans cigarette,
G
We both start talkin' 'bout what we want to forget.
C
Her life story and mine are the same.

We both lost someone and only have ourselves to blame.
