Intro: C 

verse 1 

Her husband is a decent man 
C 
Kind as anyone you know 

But whiskey got a hold of him

And won't let go 

And even though she hates him when he's stumbling 
    F                      G 
Her heart still breaks his fall

My son who I have loved so much

Still has somehow lost his way 

He causes me such pain

Oh, I cannot count that high
