Bitters past (Tim Easton)
recorded by the Haynes Boys

Capo I
Originial in Eb, but I think Tim is playing the song with capo I.


Intro:
Db D  Db D


            D          G       A   C
I remember too many  drinking songs
         D        A           G            A
When I broke the bottle the drink was all gone
       D        G
Its a curse or worse
     A                           G              A
The wine stained letters at the bottom of your purse that say
D        G            D
I miss  hanging with you
D       G           A
I miss laying with you
          D           Hm
I don't wanna go on drinking
       G               A           D
But I wanna gonna go drinkin with you
        D         G       A  C
I know too many drinking songs
         D        A          G             A
When I broke the bottle the songs are all gone
            D      G      A                      G      A
I'm up the hill until I cracked my skull on the wagon wheel
D        G         D
I miss driving to you
D       G          A
I miss riding with you
         D            Hm
I don't wanna go on drinking
       G               A           D
But I wanna gonna go drinkin with you
A                 G D
Please bring the bottle
A                G D
I'll bring the glass
A                 G  D
We'll scrape the bottom
      Hm                 Em   G
And swallow the bitters pasts
         D                    Hm
I don't wanna grow old just drinkin'
              G         A           D
And I could grow old drinkin' with you


Instrumental

I remember too many ... drinkin' with you
