Daddy passed me his bottle of tequila
      Am
Said, "Time's running out
                    D
We're gonna have to pretend it's a margarita
G                                         Em
It's the order of things, it's the way it goes

Couple of cocktails and a song
                     Am
And don't you let me see you cry
             D
Don't you go grieving
               G    C    G    C
Not before I'm gone


Verse 2:
G
He had his lighter on a leash
    Em
And menthols in his shirt pocket
Am
Said, "I'm going up with the smoke
           D
There's no doin' anything to stop it
G
So take a deep breath
              Em
Quit with the countdown
                        Am
You've always been your daddy's girl
                D
Nothing's gonna change that now"

Couple of cocktails and a song
                     Am
And don't you let me see you cry
             D
Don't you go grieving
               G         G/F#
Not before I'm gone


Bridge:
Em                             Bm
And then he stared down at his shoes
C                          G      G/F#
Through the pink begonia's blue
      Em                         Bm
Said, "Daddy, all I want is your silver belt buckle
               C
And maybe your black Stetson hat"
               D
And both of us laughed about that


Chorus:
C                             G
The day is close, it won't be long
D/F#                      C
Couple of cocktails and a song
                     Am
And don't you let me see you cry
             D
Don't you go grieving
             G     C     G     C     Am
Not before I die
