CAPO 2 
   A5        A5 E5          F#5      A5 E5 
He sits all alone in his easy chair 
        A5           E5          A5   A5 E5 
Staring back on his lost yesterdays 
     A5           A5 E5           F#5   A5 E5 
Long before he encountered the bottle 
        A5           E5         A5      A5 E5  A5   A5 E5 
And the demons that drove her away 
 

       A5          A5 E5         F#5        A5 E5 
In his hand he is holding her photograph 
    A5         E5                A5      A5 E5 
Her image all tear-stained and worn 
    A5          A5 E5       F#5    A5 E5 
Tonight he's embracing reality 
       A5          E5          A5     A5 (bass walk A5 B5 C#5 ) 
And he curses the day he was born 
 
Chorus: 
        D5                         A5 
And the darkness still echoes her warning 
    D5              A5             F#5 
You can't have two loves in your life 
        A5 
Now the things that will haunt him 
                      D5 
Until the day that he dies 
       A5 
Is the smell of cheap whiskey 
        E5            A5           A5 
And the sound of goodbye 
 

          A5                            F#5 
Since the hour that she left he's been sober 
         A5              E5               A5 
And each breath that he draws makes him think 
          A5                         F#5 
About the light of his life gone forever 
        A5          E5          A5 
When he traded her love for a drink 
 
(chorus  x2), between play: 
D5 (4 meas) A5 (2 m ) E5 (1 m )  A5 (3 m ) 

 
Notes:  Between A5 and D5 and from D5 to A5 there are bass 
walk-up ( A5 B5 C#5 D5 ) and walk downs ( D5 C#5 B5 A5 ) in a lot of 
places.  Listen to it, it'll make sense.
