[Intro]
G C G C
[Verse 1]
G Em
Daddy passed me his bottle of tequila
Am
Said, "Time's running out
D
We're gonna have to pretend it's a margarita
G Em
It's the order of things, it's the way it goes
Am D
Don't you look at me, girl, like I'm already gone"
[Chorus]
C G
The day is close, it won't be long
D/F# C
Couple of cocktails and a song
Am
And don't you let me see you cry
D
Don't you go grieving
G C G C
Not before I'm gone
[Verse 2]
G
He had his lighter on a leash
Em
And menthols in his shirt pocket
Am
Said, "I'm going up with the smoke
D
There's no doin' anything to stop it
G
So take a deep breath
Em
Quit with the countdown
Am
You've always been your daddy's girl
D
Nothing's gonna change that now"
[Chorus]
C G
The day is close, it won't be long
D/F# C
Couple of cocktails and a song
Am
And don't you let me see you cry
D
Don't you go grieving
G G/F#
Not before I'm gone
[Bridge]
Em Bm
And then he stared down at his shoes
C G G/F#
Through the pink begonia's blue
Em Bm
Said, "Daddy, all I want is your silver belt buckle
C
And maybe your black Stetson hat"
D
And both of us laughed about that
[Chorus]
C G
The day is close, it won't be long
D/F# C
Couple of cocktails and a song
Am
And don't you let me see you cry
D
Don't you go grieving
G C G C Am
Not before I die
