Ol' George Stopped Drinkin' Today Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
Me and the bottle have [E]always been friends
Oh, we've [B]had a few ol' nasty fights
but the [A]bottle, it always [E]wins
And when I go to answer that final curtain call
I can [B]hear these words bein' whispered
by [E]all[A][E]

[Chorus 1]
Ol' [E]George stopped drinkin' today
They're [A]all gonna gather 'round me
Lord, I [E]wish they could hear me say
[A]No more income taxes, [E]no more bills to [A]pay
Ol' [E]Jones stopped [B]drinkin' to[E]day

[Verse 2]
[E]Down in Mississippi the highway patrol
Will [B]read it in the paper
and [A]say, "God rest his [E]soul
No more will he wobble down life's highway
'Cause [B]Jones stopped drinkin'
to[E]day"[A][E]
[F][Bb][F]

[Verse 3]
They'll [F]say, "He had a problem,
dealing with his mind
He [C]just couldn't seem to make it
[Bb]anywhere on time[F]"
But when the roll is called up yonder
and heaven I know
[C]You can bet the Possum
is gonna [F]show[Bb][F]

[Chorus 2]
Ol' [F]George stopped drinkin' today
They're [Bb]all gonna gather 'round me
Lord, I [F]wish they could hear me say
[Bb]No more income taxes, no[F] more bills to p[Bb]ay
Ol' [F]Jones stopped [C]drinkin' to[F]day
Ol' Jones stopped [C]drinkin' to[Bb]day[F]
