D                          A                             Em7  G
I went and got the biggest bottle they got 'cause you're gone
       D                     A                     Em7  G
Drop a needle on a vinyl and cry to old an Haggard song
D                          A
Sittin' at the table, baby breakin' the seal
      Em7                  G
Gonna see how much of this pain I can kill
D                             A                             Em7  G
I went and bought the biggest bottle they got 'cause you're gone
 
 
[Chorus]
      D
Tennessee and Kentucky
       A
'Cause you ain't here to love me
  Em7                               G
I drink now that there's nothing to lose
       D
I been fightin' with your memory
  A
I hate the way it hits me
  Em7                        G
I wake up everyday black and blue
      Bm                A              G
After all this back and forth, a fifth won't do
       Em7                  A                        D   A  Em7
Yeah I finally got a handle, finally got a handle on you

D                         A                        Em7       G
I keep on sippin' 'til "I miss you" don't roll off my tongue
D                    A
Since you poured our love down the sink
  Em7                  G
I think I'll just stay here and drink
D                           A                          Em7    G
I tell myself that I should quit but I don't listen to drunks

Tennessee and Kentucky
       A
'Cause you ain't here to love me
  Em7                               G
I drink now that there's nothing to lose
       D
I been fightin' with your memory
  A
I hate the way it hits me
  Em7                        G
I wake up everyday black and blue
      Bm                A              G

It's seems unnecessary to use a capo at the 4th fret and play the song from the D position when you can lower tuning 1/2 tone and play it without a capo from the G position.

This is a really "catchy" tune. Thanks so much for your spot-on chord chart. I really appreciate you including the intro, solo, and outro chords ... many chord charts leave these out.

Thanks, sounds great! For the half-step down family, transpose +5 and ring those G chords.
