Bourbon [DVD] Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][F][Bb][F][Bb][F]
[G]

[Verse 1]
Well, [F]he's
drinking down the bourbon like it was soda pop,
Try[G]ing to quell a feeling he
knows ain't gonna stop,
He's [F]mortgaged out his blood for
one [Am]more [Esus4]chance to[G] breathe.
He had [F]the D.T.'s for breakfast,
the shakes till noon,
He [G]picked up his bag and
left the motel room,
His [F]head is held high but his [Esus4]heart
[Am]is on it[Esus4]'s knees[Em].

[Interlude 1]
[G][D]

[Verse 2]
Well, he [F]packed his guitar
and his bar-room tan,
tan,
Gotta [G]get some miles behind
him as fast as he can,
An[F]other destination,
[Esus4]some plac[Am]e else to p[F]lay.
[G]

[Verse 3]
Well, he [F]left a life behind him
in some old trailer park.
[G]They tried to make it work; it
was ruined from the start.
He [F]had to shake the rust,
it be[Esus4]came time to l[Em]eave.

[Interlude 2]

[G]
[C]

[Verse 4]
It's a [G]honky-tonk engagement,
[C]engagement,
But there's no [G]better place to [C]play.
His face [Bm]feels like [G]crazy pavement,
[C]
It's getting [Bm]more [G]lined every day.

[Verse 5]
[D]
Well, he's [F]gonna write
a letter and try to explain,
She [G]says he's too old to have these growing pains,
[F]But something keeps him moving,
[Esus4]liv ing on through the n[G]ight.

[Verse 6]
[G]
But as [F]the night approaches,
a change is in the air,
His [G]heart is pumping fast,
he's got no cares.
The mu[F]sic befriends him,
it can [E]take him [Em]any where.
[G]

[Verse 7]
[C]
It's a [Bm]honky-tonk [G]engagement,
[C]engagement,
But there's no [G]better place to [C]play.
His mind [Bm]feels [G]like [Bm]crazy [G]pav[C]ement,
He's getting [Bm]crazed out [G]every day.
[D]

[Verse 8]
Well, he's [F]drinking down the
bourbon like it was soda pop,
Try[G]ing to quell a feeling he
knows ain't gonna stop,
He's [F]mortgaged out his blood for [Esus4]one
[Am]more [Esus4]chance to[Em] breathe.
[G]

[Verse 9]
He had [F]the D.T.'s for breakfast,
the chills till noon,
He picked [G]up his bag and
left the motel room,
His [F]head is held high but his [Esus4]heart
is [E]on [Em]it's knees.
