Verse 1.
Intro: A F#m A F#m
A D
I came home to find you were gone
A
On a cold grey morning
D E
I remember now that's the way you said it would be
D G
Like living in a bad dream
C F
Alcohol in the bloodstream
A D A D
Goin' to have to do - 'til I forget about you
A D A
Ooo- 'til I forget about you
Verse 2.
Some dead wild flowers
And a bottle of vodka on the kitchen table
Flowers for the good times and booze for the bad
I can curse I can scream
But alcohol in the bloodstream
'Bout the best I can do - 'til I forget about you
Ooo - 'til I forget about you
BRIDGE:
F#m E
Now my strings are all unstrung
D
Everything I could do I've done
E
Just waiting for daylight to come, to come
(Instrumental)
I wonder where you've gone
And I wonder how long I can take this loneliness
Two hundred first calf heifers and a deal is a deal I guess
Then I'll roll my bed get away clean
Alcohol in the bloodstream
Goin' to quit you too
Then I'll forget about you
A D A D
Ooo - 'til I forget about you
A D A D
Ooo - 'til I forget about you
A(one down-stroke) A D A D A E A
Ooo - 'til I forget about you
