Chords

[Intro] G [Verse 1]
          G
I used to live with the whiskey

        D                 C             G
And the good time and the ladies of the night

         G
Then the whiskey took control

        D                 C             G
Left me waltzing with the witches in my mind

     C
But imaginary bottles won't be everywhere

                   G    Em
To haunt me like before

             C
'Cos I'm not dancing with those demons

        D                           G
I'm not dealing with that devil any   more
[Chorus]
          C              G
So, go to sleep my weary lady

       C                      G
Heaven knows you've done your chore

         C                   G      Em
You were   sent here just to   save me

        C
I'm not dancing with those demons

        D                           G
I'm not dealing with that devil any   more
[Verse 2]
         G
It don't matter where you came from

      D                C               G
All I know is that you gave me back my pride

            G
You reached out your hand and saved a man

        D             C               G
Who had slid about as far as he could slide

        C
And you probably came from heaven

                                   G     Em
Who else could've sent you but the Lord

        C
I'm not dancing with those demons

        D                           G
I'm not dealing with that devil any   more
[Chorus]
          C              G
So, go to sleep my weary lady

       C                      G
Heaven knows you've done your chore

         C                   G         Em
You were   sent here just to   save me

        C
I'm not dancing with those demons

        D                           G
I'm not dealing with that devil any   more
[Chorus]
            C              G
Yeah, go to sleep my weary lady

       C                      G
Heaven knows you've done your chore

         C                   G         Em
You were   sent here just to   save me

            C
And I'm not dancing with those demons

        D                          G
I'm not dealing with that devil anymore, yeah
[Chorus]
            C              G
Yeah, go to sleep my weary lady

       C                      G
Heaven knows you've done your chore

         C                   G         Em
You were   sent here just to   save me

            C
And I'm not dancing with those demons

        D                           G
I'm not dealing with that devil any   more
[Outro]
C    G
        (Break it down!)

C    G
        (Just sing, just sing it out)

C    G         Em
      (Outside)

C             D
  (Thank you!) (cheers)
