C                              F                          C 
That psychoed-out psychologist asked me about my drinking ways 

      F                                                            C 
Every question that he asked me all related back unto my childhood days 

    F 
But if the truth was known I never took to drinking long 

        C                                             G7 
Long as she was mine   but when she left me I went to hell 

                          C    F 
And heaven was a drink of wine 


C                                          F 
That good doctor said to look at all those ink-spots  

                     C 
And tell me what you see 

        F                                                        C 
Could I help it if they all looked like big ole broken hearts to me 

F                                                               C 
All my friends and kin will tell you ole Hag ain't the drinking kind 

                               G7                             C    C7 
But when she left me I went to hell and heaven was a drink of wine  
         

F                                          C 
Get back get back get on back and leave me alone 

          F                                             G7 
Can't you see that you can't help a man that's this far gone  

C               F                            C 
Hey good doctor Iā??ve got something you can't find in my mind 

                               G7                             C 
But when she left me I went to hell and heaven was a drink of wine 

  
                G7                    C    F    C 
Hey good doctor heaven was a drink of wine
