Merle Haggard

Composed by: S. Garrett
key: C Tuning: E A D G B E
F
Memories and drinks don't mix too well.
                                            Bb ( Bb A Ab ) G7
Jukebox records don't play those wedding bells.
C
Lookin' at the world through the bottom of a glass,
                                  F ( F A Bb C B Bb D )
All I see is a man who's fading fast.
F
Tonight I need that woman again.
                                       Bb ( Bb A Ab ) G7
What I'd give for my baby to just walk in.
C
Sit down beside me and say: "It's alright.
                                              F ( F A Bb C B Bb D )
"Take me home and make sweet love to me tonight."

F               A7            Bb        G7
But here I am again, mixin' misery and gin.
              Bb                  C           F
Sittin' with all my friends and talkin' to myself.
    Bb                    A7              Dm Dm/C  Bb
I look like I'm havin' a good time but any fool can tell,
           F                                Bb C        F    C
That this Honky Tonk Heaven really makes ya' feel like hell.

F
I light a lonely woman's cigarette,
                                                 Bb ( Bb A Ab ) G7
We both start talkin' 'bout what we want to forget.
C
Her life story and mine are the same.
                                                   F ( F A Bb C B Bb D )
We both lost someone and only have ourselves to blame.

F               A7            Bb        G7
But here I am again, mixin' misery and gin.
              Bb                  C           F
Sittin' with all my friends and talkin' to myself.
    Bb                    A7              Dm Dm/C  Bb
I look like I'm havin' a good time but any fool can tell,
           F                                Bb C        F    C
That this Honky Tonk Heaven really makes ya' feel like hell.
