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                                             G7
Long as she was mine   but when she left me I went to hell

                          C    F
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
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    C
