This is a cover of "Like Patsy Would", by Lori McKenna, off of "Lori" by Iron & Wine. Sam Beam and friends play it in a different key than McKenna, however. [Intro] Am C G Am x4 [Verse 1]
                       Am
If it comes from the whiskey

            C
Pour me a drink

                        G
If it comes from the heartache

                  Am
Let me feel the sting

                       F
If it comes from the spirits

                        C
Set 'em loose in this room

             G
Either way tonight

                      Am
It's just me and the truth
[Chorus]
         F                   C
Wanna pray it like Jesus is listening

         F                               G
Wanna play it like I'm made of strings on wood

         F
Wanna write it down like Hemingway

               C               Am
Like it's the last thing I'll ever say

        F            G     C
Try to sing it like Patsy would
[Verse 2]
                  Am
Sometimes it's a blessing

                  C
Sometimes it's a curse

                 G
When it keeps me up all night

                 Am
Looking for the worst

             F
Sometimes a pen knows

              C
Just what to say

                      G
Spills out like a waterfall

                  Am
On a clean, white page
[Chorus]
         F                   C
Wanna pray it like Jesus is listening

         F                               G
Wanna play it like I'm made of strings on wood

         F
Wanna write it down like Hemingway

               C               Am
Like it's the last thing I'll ever say

        F            G     Am
Try to sing it like Patsy would

            F           G     C
And try to sing it like Patsy would
