ALCOHOL AND PILLS	Fred Eaglesmith  Capo 2 

[Em] Hank Williams he [C] came up from Montgomery
With a [D] heart full of broken 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
But when he [C] finally made it to the Grand Old Opry, [Em] he made it stand still.
He [D} ended up on alcohol and [Em] pills.

Elvis Presley, he came up from Jackson
With a brand new way of singing, Lord, and a brand new way of dancing
And even from the waist up, Lord, he gave the world a thrill
He ended up on alcohol and pills

Chorus:	
[G] Alcohol and pills, [D] it's a crying shame
You'd [Am] think they might've been happy with the [C] glory and the 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.

Janis Joplin, she was wild and reckless,
And then there was Gram Parsons, Lord, and then there was Jimi Hendrix.
The story just goes on and on, and I guess it always will.
They ended up on alcohol and pills.

Sometimes somebody just doesn't wake up one day.
Sometimes it's a heart attack, sometimes they just don't say.
But they pulled poor old Hank Williams out of a Cadillac Coupe de Ville.
He ended up on alcohol and pills.
