Merle Haggard Misery and Gin Lyrics

Memories and drinks don't mix too well.
Jukebox records don't play those wedding
bells.
Lookin' at the world through the bottom of a
glass,
All I see is a man who's fading fast.
Tonight I need that woman again.
What I'd give for my baby to just walk in.
Sit down beside me and say: "It's alright.
"Take me home and make sweet love to me
tonight."
Chorus:
But here I am again, mixin' misery and gin.
Sittin' with all my friends and talkin' to
myself.
I look like I'm havin' a good time but any
fooool can tell,
That this Honky Tonk Heaven really makes ya'
feeeel like hell.
I light a lonely woman's cigarette,
We both start talkin' 'bout what we want to
forget.
Her life story and mine are the same.
We both lost someone and only have ourselves
to blame.
But here I am again, mixin' misery and gin.
Sittin' with all my friends and talkin' to
myself.
I look like I'm havin' a good time but any
fooool can tell,
That this Honky Tonk Heaven really makes ya'
feeeel like hell.
On the F chord at the end of each verse and each chorus do a walk up and down on the g string ( A Bb B C B Bb) then B string (D)
For tabs it would be: Before G Gsus4 G
After each verse and chorus. Do this at the end of song then finish with single strum F chord
(Thanks to Paul Huddleston for corrections)
