Merle Haggard – Heaven Was A Drink Of Wine (Guitar)

C                              F                          C
That psychoed-out psychologist asked me about my drinking ways

      F                                                            C
Every question that he asked me all related back unto my childhood days

    F
But if the truth was known I never took to drinking long

        C
Long as she was mine   but when she left me I went to hell

    G7                    C    F C
And heaven was a drink of wine

C                                          F
That good doctor said to look at all those ink-spots

                     C
And tell me what you see

        F                                                        C
Could I help it if they all looked like big ole broken hearts to me

F                                                               C
All my friends and kin will tell you ole Hag ain't the drinking kind

                                        G7                    C    C7
But when she left me I went to hell and heaven was a drink of wine

F                                          C
Get back get back get on back and leave me alone

          F                                             G7    Break
Can't you see that you can't help a man that's this far gone

C               F                            C
Hey good doctor I’ve got something you can't find in my mind

                                        G7                    C
But when she left me I went to hell and heaven was a drink of wine

                G7                    C    F Fm    C
Hey good doctor heaven was a drink of wine
