Gm Bb C
Dm Gm Bb C Dm
[Verse 1]
Dm Bb Hank Williams, he came up from Montgomery C Dm With a heartful of hard-luck country songs Dm Bb Nashville Tennessee, they didn't understand him C Dm Cause he did things differently than the way that they were done Bb Dm But when he finally made it to the Grand Ol Opry he made it stand still C Dm He ended up on alcohol and pills
[Verse 2]
Dm Bb Elvis Presley, he came up from Jackson C Dm With a brand new way of singin', a brand new way of dancin' Dm Bb And even from the waist up, he gave the world a thrill C Dm He ended up on alcohol and pills
[Chorus]
F C Alcohol and pills, is a cryin' shame Gm Bb You think they might have been happy with the glory and the fame F C But fame don't take away the pain, it just pays the bills Gm Bb Dm And you wind up on alcohol and pills
[Verse 3]
Dm Bb Janis Joplin, she was wild and reckless C Dm Then there was Gram Parsons, then there was Jimi Hendrix Dm Bb The story just goes on and on and I guess it always will C Dm They ended up on alcohol and pills
[Chorus]
F C Alcohol and pills, is a cryin' shame Gm Bb You think they might have been happy with the glory and the fame F C But fame don't take away the pain, it just pays the bills Gm Bb Dm And you wind up on alcohol and pills

[Bridge]
Gm Dm Sometimes somebody won't wake up one day Gm C Sometimes it's a heart attack, sometimes they won't say Dm Bb When they pulled poor old Hank Williams out of a Cadillac Coupe-Deville C Dm He ended up on alcohol and pills
[Chorus]
F C Alcohol and pills, is a cryin' shame Gm Bb You think they might have been happy with the glory and the fame F C But fame don't take away the pain, it just pays the bills Gm Bb Dm And you wind up on alcohol and pills
[Outro]
Gm Bb Dm Dm On alcohol and pills
