Chords and lyrics for If Drinkin' Don't Kill Me (Her Memory Will) by George Jones (key of C).
Verse 1
[C] The bars are all closed
It's four in the morning
Must have shut'em all down
By the [G]shape that I'm in
I lay my[C] head on the wheel
And the horn begins honking
The whole neighborhood knows
That I'm[G] home d [C]runk again
Chorus
And if [F]drinking [C]don't kill me
Her [G]memory will
I can't [F]hold out much longer
The way [C]that I feel
With the[F] blood [C]from my body
I could [F]start my own still
And if [C]drinking don't kill me
Her mem [G]ory will[C]
These [C]will old b ones they move slow
But so sure of their footsteps
As I [G]trip on the floor and lightly touch down
Lord it'[C] s been ten bottles since I tried to forget her
But the [G]memory [C]still lingers lying here on the gr ound
repeat chorus:
