but everything else should be ok and you'll get the tempi if you
play along with anouk.
tune: drop D

(intro)
(riff 1)
well if you live in dusty twilight baby,
that's okay
'cause there are women at the bar to greet you
ev'ry day
(riff 2)
and you can take them back to lie with you
and visit jamie's room
(riff 2)
but they can never take the pain away
or brighten all the gloom
(riff 3)
and if your hands are clenched with sorrow
then may it help you ease your pain
and though the windows have a view of city rain
city rain
(riff 1)
well if you walk in constant sorrow
and you cry for me
and if you're hit with painful memories,
maybe then you'll see...
(riff 2)
that if you drown yourself in liquor
because it keeps you company
(riff 2)
then just remember who you're losing
and be proud to set them free
(riff 3)
because it don't talk back or disagree
it just makes you see so hazily
but in the morning light, your life is scattered with the wind
scattered with the wind
(riff 1)
well they tell you on the telephone
to let him go
i say, they tell you he's a sinking ship
and he's trying to pull you down
don't you know?
(riff 2)
but ev'ry time you call me up, and say you want me back
you know you break my heart
(riff 2)
you want me to come back home and try again,
you want me to make a brand new start
(riff 3)
well if wisdom says to let him go, then it's hell,
because you just don't know
until you've tried to love a man who's lovin' whiskey
lovin' whiskey
(riff 1)
solo
(riff 2)
my baby left me for the bottle,
and the lure of the nightlife
(riff 2)
good times and crazy women
and another glass of tangerey
(riff 3)
and if wisdom says to let him go, then it's hell,
because you just don't know
until you've tried to love a man who's lovin' whiskey
lovin' whiskey
thanx to peter kijzers for his version which helped me a lot!
