Drag the River - Barroom Bliss

C.......................F..........................C

My mind doesn't work so well these days

C...................F..................C

I drink all my waking hours away

G

If I sit here long enough

G

maybe I think of something

.........C...............Am......G

that'll make you stay

something tells me not think at all
I sit in the darkness starin at the wall
This lonliness is hell
I search for drinks and things
to make me well

F...............Am
I spend my life staring

G............................C

through my bloodshot eyes

F............Am...............G

I'll never know where I belong

With eyes closed fast
I play photographs of you
You stare at me and wonder
how I'm doing
I tell you that I'm fine
That thought echoes through my empty mind

I close my eyes again

With barroom bliss and a strangers kiss
I'm home
Cause noone ever wants to be alone
I doubt that there is a way
I'll ever speak the words
that'll make you stay

my mind doesnt work so well these days

Drag the River - Song For Robin Reichhardt

G...D...Am...C..D

G....................................D

I know I said we'd never part

Am..................C.............D

I remember that time of year

G...................................D

Maybe I won't sound the same

Am

But I'll be fine if no one

C..................D

mentions her name


G.............................D
I need a song just like before

G......................................C

That one just don't cut it anymore

G....................................D

I'm impressed now its the end

...........................................Am

I'll let all the sad songs roll back in

Am

I'll be be fine if no one

C.................D............C

mentions her name anymore

................G
Except for lying

.....................C

alone with the earth

................G

all alone for a while

.................C..................................G

I'll feel like drivin' just away in the morning

.........................Em

All but I've been seeing myself

............C..........D

The first time I might

So maybe I won't sound the same

Tell me I don't feel the same

But I'll be fine if no one
mentions her name

Think of how it was that night
and how you feel tonight
I'll be fine if no one

mentions her name anymore

Need a song just like before

The one don't cut it anymore

I'm impressed now it's the end

all those sad sounds roll back

I'll be fine if no one

mentions her name

Anymore

I'll survive it

Drag the River - Medicine

G

A bottle a day

Bm

keeps the doctors away

D.........................Em

or so my girlfriend says

G

So I take my medicine

Bm

and she gives me something

D...........................C

that word's just can't express


.......G
She's cranky when she's sober

D

so sweet when she's wasted

...........C

When I quench my thirst with her waters

..........D................................C

it's the sweetest I have ever tasted


C...G...C...G


As I lay down to sleep
she lays a bottle at my feet
knowing when I wake up
I'll be shaking
the sun comes through the window
she opens up the bottle
she feeds me my medicine again

She's cranky when she's sober

so sweet when she's wasted
When I quench my thirst with her waters

it's the sweetest I have ever tasted

C...............G

I can't stay clean long

.......................C................G

I hope she is not angry anymore

Em.................D.....................C

she brings me happiness in a bottle

................Am...........Em

makes life easier to swallow

..................G...........Am

makes love easier to hold

...............C...........D

so I've been told


Em...G...Am...A

She's cranky when she's sober

so sweet when she's wasted

When I quench my thirst with her waters

it's the sweetest I have ever tasted

can't stay clean long
hope she's not angry anymore
