  			Chorus 
               A 
Just pour me sorrow on the rocks, bartender  
  D 
Sorrow on the rocks will do 
     A 
I'm tryin' to drown my troubles  
                     G       D 
So make it a double mhm mhm mhm 

D 
The seat of my pants is slick from my barstool   
and my hand's in the shape of a glass 
My eyes look like a roadmap of Georgia and it's a shame I've lost my class 
 G                                            D 
One broken heart can do strange things to a fellow who can't take pain 
But in this hundred proof condition I'm in no position to take her back again 

Repeat Chorus 

D 
Looks like the hair on my head ain't never met a comb  
and my face is a bearded mess 
My hand shakes slightly and I have to walk lightly  
or I'll weave from right to left 
      G                                                    D 
The music on the jukebox don't mean a thing cause I'm too far gone for a song 
I sure feel bad cause my baby ain't here and I'm sorry that I done her wrong 


Repeat Chorus 

Repeat Chorus  (Fade Out)
