A Hard Lesson To Learn

E E7 E E7 E E Well, I heard Jimmy Rogers sing A E On my daddy's old record machine E Something 'bout how when you've got love B All you've got is love to lose E And if I learned one thing about Hank A E Is that him and his kin like to drink E B E Living whiskey bent, feeling lovesick blues Straight to hell A I'm a whiskey drinking, new low sinking E Love 'em and leave 'em kind A And if it's worth keeping, you better believe it B I'm losing it with my mind E And you'd think I'd pick up from one of them songs A E Just one way not to get burnt E But it's the same old bottle B The same old blues E The same hard lesson to learn E Well, I heard that old George Jones A E Bottomed out from all of the no shows E B7 Girl, I'm watching my heroes run away like hall up pow E And I live like a rolling stone A E Ain't worth it if I gotta be alone E B E On the lost highway, the devil collects the tolls A I'm a whiskey drinking, new low sinking E Love 'em and leave 'em kind A And if it's worth keeping, you better believe it B I'm losing it with my mind E And you'd think I'd pick up from one of them songs A E Just one way not to get burnt E But it's the same old bottle B The same old blues E And the same hard lesson to learn E7 A Em7 E7 A B E And you'd think I'd pick up from one of them songs A E Just one way not to get burnt E But it's the same old bottle B The same old blues E The same hard lesson to learn E It's the same old bottle B The same old blues E The same hard lesson to learn
