Misery and Gin
Performed by Merle Hagard

Verse 1:
DD Piano Chord 

Memories and drinks don't mix too well.
GG Piano Chord 

And jukebox records don't play those wedding bells.
CC Piano Chord 

Starin' at the world through the bottom of a glass,
DD Piano Chord 
     D7D7 Piano Chord 

All I see is a man who's fading fast.

Verse 2:
DD Piano Chord 

Tonight I need that woman again.
GG Piano Chord 

What I'd give for my baby to just walk in.
CC Piano Chord 

Sit down beside me and say it's alright.
DD Piano Chord 
       D7D7 Piano Chord 

Take me home and make sweet love to me tonight.

Chorus
GG Piano Chord 
              G7G7 Piano Chord 
           CC Piano Chord 

But here I am again, mixin' misery and gin.
DD Piano Chord 
                  D7D7 Piano Chord 
           GG Piano Chord 

Sittin' with all my friends and talkin' to myself.
C                      C(barre)          B        C
I look like I'm havin' a good time but any fool can tell,
GG Piano Chord 
                                 DD Piano Chord 
  D7D7 Piano Chord 
     GG Piano Chord 
     D7D7 Piano Chord 

That this Honkytonk Heaven really makes ya' feel like hell.

Verse 3:
DD Piano Chord 

I light a lonely womans cigarette,
GG Piano Chord 

We both start talkin' 'bout what we want to forget.
CC Piano Chord 

Her life story and mine are the same.
DD Piano Chord 
      D7D7 Piano Chord 

We both lost someone and only have ourselves to blame.

Chorus
