{st:Fred Eaglesmith}
{c:slow, single strokes}
[Em] Hank Williams he [C] came up from Montgomery
With a [D] heart full of hurtin’ country [Em] songs
But [Em] Nashville, Tennessee, [C] didn’t really understand him
‘Cause [D] he did things differently than the [Em] way that they were done
{c:regular tempo}
But when he [C] finally made it, to the Grand Ol’ Opry, [Em] he made it stand still
He [D] ended up on alcohol and [Em] pills
[Em] Elvis Presley [C] he came up from Jackson
With a [D] brand new way of singin’, lord, and a [Em] brand new way of dancin’
And [Em] even from the waist up, lord, he [C] gave the world a thrill
He [D] ended up on alcohol and [Em] pills
{soc}
{c:CHORUS:}
[G] Alcohol and pills, [D] it’s a crying shame
You [Am] think they might’ve been happy, with the [C] glory and the [Em] fame
But [G] fame doesn’t take away the pain, [D] it just pays the bills
And you [Am] wind up on [C] alcohol and [Em] pills
{eoc}
[Em] Janis Joplin [C] she was wild and reckless
And [D] then there was Gram Parsons, lord, and [Em] then there was Jimi Hendrix
The [Em] story just goes on and on, and I [C] guess it always will
They [D] ended up on alcohol and [Em] pills
{soc}
{c:CHORUS:}
[G] Alcohol and pills, [D] it’s a crying shame
You [Am] think they might’ve been happy, with the [C] glory and the [Em] fame
But [G] fame doesn’t take away the pain, [D] it just pays the bills
And you [Am] wind up on [C] alcohol and [Em] pills
{eoc}
{c:INSTRUMENTAL VERSE}
{c:slow, single strokes}
[Em] Sometimes somebody, just [C] doesn’t wake up one day
[D] Sometimes it’s a heart attack, some-[Em]times they just don’t say
{c:regular tempo}
But they [C] pulled poor old Hank Williams, out of a [Em] Cadillac Coupe de Ville
He [D] ended up on alcohol and [Em] pills
{soc}
{c:CHORUS:}
[G] Alcohol and pills, [D] it’s a crying shame
You [Am] think they might’ve been happy, with the [C] glory and the [Em] fame
But [G] fame doesn’t take away the pain, [D] it just pays the bills
And you [Am] wind up on [C] alcohol and [Em] pills
{eoc}
Yeah you [Am] wind up on [C] alcohol and [Em] pills
{c: }
