GIN - Marie Ellis
[Em] There’s a bottle of [B] gin on the shelf (pluck 4 strings, C, E, A, E)
[Em] tonight I’m gonna drink it [B] all by myself
[A] it’s been a long week [F] crying [D] myself to [C] sleep
[A] [F] [D] [C]
[Em] There’s a bottle of [B] Bourbon there too (pluck 4 strings, C, E, A, E)
[Em] the bitter sweetness [B] reminds me of you
[A] but it’s not a [F] great [D] memory to [C] keep
[A] [F] [D] [C]
[Em] you couldn’t control [B] what you would drink (pluck 4 strings, C, E, A, E)
[Em] I should have poured it [B] all down the sink
[A] maybe then we [F] wouldn’t be [D] where we are [C] now
[A] [F] [D] [C]
[Em] I think back to [B] how we began (pluck 4 strings, C, E, A, E)
[Em] I remember when [B] you were my man
[A] no booze every [F] night and no [D] lies to [C] me
[A] [F] [D] [C]
[Em] I think I’m gonna leave the [B] gin on the shelf (pluck 4 strings, C, E, A, E)
[Em] I know that it is no [B] good for my health
I might [A] end up [F] drinking [D] my life [C] away
[A] [F] [D] [C]
[Em] I think I’ll leave the [B] Bourbon there too (pluck 4 strings, C, E, A, E)
[Em] you should have taken that [B] poison with you
Why [A] didn’t I [F] see where [D] it all went [C] wrong
[Em] I know that you preferred [B] the booze over me (pluck 4 strings, C, E, A, E)
[Em] I been told that’s not the [B] way it should be
But I [A] know [F] now that [D] ain’t where I [C] belong
[A] [F] [D] [C] la la la la x2
