If Drinking Don?t Kill Me Lyrics

By George Jones

Capo 1st fret
D
The bars are all closed

It?s four in the morning

Must have shut?em all down
A
By the shape that I?m in
D
I lay my head on the wheel

And the horn begins honking

The whole neighborhood knows
A D
That I?m home drunk again

Chorus:
G D
And if drinking don?t kill me
A
Her memory will
G
I can?t hold out much longer
D
The way that I feel
G D
With the blood from my body
G
I could start my own still
D
And if drinking don?t kill me
A D
Her memory will
D
These will old bones they move slow

But so sure of their footsteps
A
As I trip on the floor and lightly touch down
D
Lord it?s been ten bottles since I tried to forget her
A D
But the memory still lingers lying here on the ground

repeat chorus:
