E
C#m
Not a hot cup of coffee, nor a cold glass of tea
A
E
Ever crossed your lips, in my company
E
C#m
Straight bourbon whiskey, was all we'd abide
A
E
So let's don't hold back, now we've got nothing to hide
E
C#m
So much we savored yet so much we missed
A
E
You know I never meant you to see me like this
E
C#m
Just a faint distant flicker, from the last of the storm
A
E
You know a taste of that liquor, could do me no harm
C#m
A
E
Light me a candle, light me a fire
B
A
E
Come sit by the window, with the shades drawn
C#m
A
E
To the best of intentions, and the worst of desires
B
A
E
We'll leave by the Gulf Road, in the gray dawn
E
C#m
Take a short handled shovel, take a long handled hoe
A
E
Cover my bones when the west wind blows
E
C#m
Smooth it off even, pack it down hard
A
E
I'll no more be here, but I'll never be far
A
E
I'll no more be here, but I'll never be far
Chorus
