[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
Not a hot cup [D]of coffee,
[A]nor[D] a cold glass [Asus4]of tea[Bm]
Ever [G]crossed your lips in my company
[D]Straight bourbon whiskey
was all we'd [Bm]abide
[G]So let's don't hold back now,
we've got nothing to [D]hide
[A][D]

[Verse 2]
So much we savored yet
so much [A]we missed[Bm]
You know [G]I never meant
you to see me like [D]this
Just a faint distant flicker from
the last [Asus4]of the storm[Bm]
You [G]know a taste of that liquor
could do me no [D]harm

[Verse 3]
Light me a [Bm]candle, [G]light me a [D]fire
Come and sit by the [A]window
with the [G]shades [D]drawn
To the best of [G]in [Bm]tentions
and the [G]worst of de[D]sires
Leave by the [A]Gulf Road in the [G]gray [D]dawn[Asus4]

[Interlude 1]
[D][Bm][G][Asus4]
[A][Em][G][D][A][D][A][Bm][A]
[Bm][Em][G][D][A][Asus4][D]

[Verse 4]
Take a short handled [D]shovel,
take a long handled [Bm]hoe
[G]Cover my bones when
the west wind [D]blows
Smooth it off even and
pack [A]it down [Bm]hard
Now, [G]no more be here but I'll never be [D]far
I'll no more be [Bm]here[G]
but I'll never be [D]far

[Verse 5]
Light me a [Bm]candle, [G]light me a [D]fire
Come and sit by the [A]window
with the [G]shades [D]drawn
To the best of [Bm]in tentions
and the [G]worst of [D]de sires
Leave by the [A]Gulf Road
in the [G]gray [D]dawn[A][D]
Leave [A]by the Gulf Road in the [G]gray [D]dawn
