Verse 1.

Intro: A     F#m     A     F#m
A               D
I came home to find you were gone
      A
On a cold grey morning
                           D                    E
I remember now that's the way you said it would be
D                 G
Like living in a bad dream
C                F
Alcohol in the bloodstream
                 A   D                    A     D
Goin' to have to do - 'til I forget about you
A  D                      A
Ooo- 'til I forget about you

Verse 2.
Some dead wild flowers
And a bottle of vodka on the kitchen table
Flowers for the good times and booze for the bad
I can curse I can scream
But alcohol in the bloodstream
'Bout the best I can do - 'til I forget about you
Ooo - 'til I forget about you

BRIDGE:
F#m                        E
Now my strings are all unstrung
                            D
Everything I could do I've done
                              E
Just waiting for daylight to come, to come

(Instrumental)

I wonder where you've gone
And I wonder how long I can take this loneliness
Two hundred first calf heifers and a deal is a deal I guess
Then I'll roll my bed get away clean
Alcohol in the bloodstream
Goin' to quit you too
Then I'll forget about you
A  D                       A   D
Ooo - 'til I forget about you
A  D                       A   D
Ooo - 'til I forget about you
A(one down-stroke)               A     D    A    D    A    E    A
Ooo - 'til I forget about you
