A Bottle Of Whisky

A   Asus2

[Verse]

A                         E
Diamonds on the corner of lipstick.
E7     E                A
Rubies shining with the gold.
                          D
Wild night, a woman, and Cadillacs
A             E         A
Helpless with no one to hold.
                           E
She stood at the edge of a doorway.
          E7        E              A
There was nowhere a poor boy could run.

[Chorus]

                               D
I had a fight with a bottle of whiskey last night
        A         E       A
and the bottle of whiskey won.

[Verse]

                              E
She told me to watch from the window
       E7           E             A
as she powdered the sweat from my brow.
                           D
I told her I couldn't stay too late
       A        E        A
but it didn't connect anyhow.
                                  E
It's funny how small things don't matter
         E7           E             A
When you can't recall what you have done.

[Chorus]

                               D
I had a fight with a bottle of whiskey last night
        A         E       A
and the bottle of whiskey won.

[Verse]

                       E
Her mama remembered my picture.
    E7      E           A
Her daddy remembered my face.
                                D
There were lawyers all over the city.
           A           E        A
There were cowboys all over the place.
                                   E
In the morning the judge asked the jury
                                   A
"can you tell me exactly what he's done?"

[Chorus]

                                 D
"He had a fight with a bottle of whiskey last night
        A         E       A
and the bottle of whiskey won."

[Verse]

                           E
Your wild night woman and Cadillacs
                             A
are out on the street having fun.

[Chorus]

                               D
I had a fight with a bottle of whiskey last night
        A         E       A
and the bottle of whiskey won.
                               D
I had a fight with a bottle of whiskey last night
        A         E       A
and the bottle of whiskey won.
