Intro G D G

G
I got lost in whiskey about 1989
C                              G
To the point I had to learn to fly
G
So I left to ride the rails, ease my troubled mind
C                         G
Sanity was all I’d left behind
D                                       C
Couldn't drown the memories or numb the pain
              G D           G
Ah with whiskey and sweet cocaine
G
I woke up in Kingston face down in the road
C                              G
Half an ounce still in my bill fold
G
Went and bought a 40, to chase away the drip
C                     G
I was numb down to my finger tips
D                                 C
Couldn’t drown the sorrows or fly away
        G      D            G
Ah with whiskey and sweet cocaine

                 C                                    G     
Cause the whiskey, will leave you mired
          C                 D
While the cocaine takes you higher
       C                D        G G/F#     Em
And no matter where you go, it’s always the same
        G      D            G
Ah with whiskey and sweet cocaine


G
When I went back to find her still holding on to him
C                       G
I felt it all come back rushing in
G
So I mixed me up a drink, a little powder in the Crown
C                           G
Went back home and got that shotgun down
D                      C
Put that gun to his ribcage
        G      D             G
Ah with whiskey and sweet cocaine

                 C                                    G     
Cause the whiskey will leave you mired
          C                 D
While the cocaine takes you higher
        C              D          G      G/F#   
And two smoken barrels gone in my daddies old 12 
Em
gauge
        G      D             G
Ah with whiskey and sweet cocaine
C       G      D            G
Ah with whiskey and sweet cocaine
