Waltz About Whiskey

Capo 5

Once the gettin' was good, but now the gettin's got gone

So i'm going downtown just to tie one on

I'm oak aged and sour, I'm goin' down by the hour

and I'm as blue as the night is long.

Chorus:

Won't someone dance with me to a waltz about whiskey

And turn my sad songs to lullabies

I don't need much of nothin except for all your lovin'

And a waltz about whiskey on ice

a little truth from the jukebox should make it al - right

and as the blues sets in I'm getting high again

to a waltz about whiskey on ice

(instrumental interlude, same chords as verse)

(Chorus)

I remember the night she sat down beside me, she said love was a

ring that won't end

I was handed a lie

Now the only thing I know of a ring is the circle my glass

leaves behind
