  			D             A 
Livin' alone, singin' my songs 
G                                  D           A 
Thinkin' about the good times when you were my own 
G                          D 
Lady, you taught me how to hurt and cry 
A                           G          D 
Each day I'm not with you I die more inside 
G                      D 
Honey, sweet lady, why did you go? 
    G                        D          A 
And leave me here dyin' all alone in my room 
              G     Gsus4  G                   D 
It's all gone wrong          since you've been gone 
 
           G 
So give me 5 shots of whiskey 
   D 
To help kill the misery 
    A               D 
And pain you put me through 
G 
Thanks for the good times

For they were the best of  
   A                 G   Gsus4  G 
My life I spent with you 
               D 
Now what can I do 
 
                        A 
Walkin' on Broadway not havin' a care 
  G                              D            A 
I see you and your new guy whose strokin' yer hair 
    G                          D 
And I can't be stayin' here in my hometown 
G                     D        A 
Got to get on with my life somehow 
              G     Gsus4  G                   D 
It's all gone wrong          since you've been gone 
 
 
So give me 5 shots of whiskey 
To help kill the misery 
And pain you put me through 
Thanks for the good times 
For they were the best of 
My life I spent with you 
I still love you
