An Incredible Song By An Incredible Writer
[Intro]
G D/F# Em7 Cadd9
G D/F# Em7 Cadd9
G D/F# Em7 Cadd9
G D/F# Cadd9
[Verse 1]
Em7 D/F# Cadd9
It's bitter cold down by the river
Em7 D/F# Cadd9
And the backstreets are teaming with life
Em7 D/F# Cadd9
You offered up all you could give her
Em7 D/F# Cadd9
Now her ghost walks the streets by your side
Em7 D/F# Cadd9
A half hidden face in the doorway
Em7 D/F# Cadd9
Or lost to the rush of the crowd
Em7 D/F# Cadd9
Now walking the path we must all take
Em7 D/F# Cadd9
Her answers to never be found
[Chorus]
G* Cadd9
So drink up your whiskey my friend
G D/F# Em7 Cadd9
I've seen this before and I know how it ends
G D/F# Em7 Cadd9
I'll carry you home and my shoulder I'll lend
G D/F# Cadd9
So drink up your whiskey my friend
[Verse 2]
Em7 D/F# Cadd9
The voices all lost to the darkness
Em7 D/F# Cadd9
As you push through the crowds who stood there
Em7 D/F# Cadd9
A place full of the cruel and the heartless
Em7 D/F# Cadd9
She just needed somebody to care
Em7 D/F# Cadd9
Now you're drowning yourself at the bottom
Em7 D/F# Cadd9
Of a bottle amongst all the dregs
Em7 D/F# Cadd9
Those faces that can't be forgotten
Em7 D/F# Cadd9
Now swimming round inside your head
[Chorus]
G* Cadd9
So drink up your whiskey my friend
G D/F# Em7 Cadd9
I've seen this before and I know how it ends
G D/F# Em7 Cadd9
I'll carry you home and my shoulder I'll lend
G D/F# Cadd9
So drink up your whiskey my friend
G D/F# Em7 Cadd9
G D/F# Em7 Cadd9
G D/F# Em7 Cadd9
G D/F# Cadd9
[Verse 3]
Em7 D/F# Cadd9
Now all of the earth's been raked over
Em7 D/F# Cadd9
And all of the seas have been swept
Em7 D/F# Cadd9
You made it your mission to know her
Em7 D/F# Cadd9
To save her and whatever's left
Em7 D/F# Cadd9
Now these streets are a painful reminder
Em7 D/F# Cadd9
Of the answers that couldn't be found
Em7 D/F# Cadd9
And the only place now you might find them
Em7* D/F#* Cadd9
Is buried six feet underground
[Chorus]
G* Cadd9
So drink up your whiskey my friend
G D/F# Em7 Cadd9
I've seen this before and I know how it ends
G D/F# Em7 Cadd9
I'll carry you home and my shoulder I'll lend
G D/F# Cadd9 D
So drink up your whiskey my friend
[Chorus]
A* D/F#
So drink up your whiskey my friend
A E F#m D/F#
I've seen this before and I know how it ends
A E F#m D/F#
I'll carry you home and my shoulder I'll lend
A E D/F#
So drink up your whiskey my friend
A E D/F#
So drink up your whiskey my friend
