**Capo 3rd Fret (To Match Recording)**
Has (C) it been a year since the last time I’ve seen her
My (F) God I could swear it was (C) ten
And the ocean of liquor I drank to forget her
Is gonna kill (D7) me but I’ll drink till (G) then
I’ve been (F) living in hell with a bar for a cell
Still (C) paying for my cheating (F) crime
And (C) I’ve got a long way to (G7) go
Still doing (C) time (G7)
Still doing (C) time
In a honky tonk prison
(C7) Still doing (F) time
Where a man forgiven
My (G) poor heart is breaking
But (F) there’s no escaping
Each (C) morning I wake up and I (G7) find
Still doing (C) time
Oh when your (F) caught cheating twice
It’s twenty to life in a (C) place
Where the sun never (F) shines
And tom(C)orrow you’re gonna find me right (G7) here
Still doing (C) time (G7)
Still doing (C) time
In a honky tonk prison
(C7) Still doing (F) time
Where a man forgiven
My (G) poor heart is breaking
But (F) there’s no escaping
Each (C) morning I wake up and I (G7) find
Still doing (C) time
Each (C) morning I wake up and I (G7) find
Still doing (C) time
