Verse 2:
C
Monday morning Merle
                    Fmaj7
Lets that old broken heart get back to work
  G
He hides all the holes and the hurt
            C
Under the dirt on his shirt
    C
And the only way that he can get
C7
Through the days and the regret
   F
Is a song full of truth with some words he never said
      G
With those whiskey remedies
                     C
And those old-school melodies you can't forget

He's Sunday morning coming down
     C       G/B     Am7
And he's right back to missing that girl

Turns up "Misery and Gin"

Here we are again
