Capo 5
G G/F# Em C G
Once the gettin’ was good, but now the gettin’s got gone
D/F# C C/B C/A G
So i’m going downtown just to tie one on
G G/F# Em C G
I’m oak aged and sour, I’m goin’ down by the hour
Em D G
and I’m as blue as the night is long.
Chorus:
C G/B Am G
Won’t someone dance with me to a waltz about whiskey
Em A7 D
And turn my sad songs to lullabies
Em G C G
I don’t need much of nothin except for all your lovin’
Em D G
And a waltz about whiskey on ice
G G/F# Em C G
One quarter should do, number A thirty-two
D/F# C C/B C/A G
a little truth from the jukebox should make it al – right
G G/F# Em C G
and as the blues sets in I’m getting high again
Em D G
to a waltz about whiskey on ice
(instrumental interlude, same chords as verse)
(Chorus)
A7 A7/E D Em C
I remember the night she sat down beside me, she said love was a
G
ring that won’t end
D/F# B7
I was handed a lie
Em G Bm C G D/F#
Now the only thing I know of a ring is the circle my glass
G
leaves behind
Chorus, Final chord starts at C and walks down to G
