Am  G C
F   C G
 
 
[Verse 1]
Am     G             C
Have a whiskey when I'm gone
          F   C
Give this $20 bill to the band
   F                G     Am
On stage to play my songs
         G         C
And then order us around
F           C     
Pull out my chair 
            G
and I'll be there
G
When they set them down
Am     G             C
Have a whiskey when I'm gone
 
 
[Chorus]
         F                  C
And then hold your glass of high
        F                 C
Say out loud that you're alive
    F                    C
You sure as hell weren't put down here
        G                  Am
Just to go to work and die
       G             C
Have a whiskey when I'm gone
 
 
[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
Am       G                 C
Life can drag but it ain't long
F              C
We're all just drifters
        F               C  Am
And one day we all move on
     G         C
In a 100 years from now
            F     
There ain't no one 
        C
on this earth today
        G
That'll still be around
Am     G             C
Have a whiskey when I'm gone
 
 
[Chorus]
         F                  C
And then hold your glass of high
        F                 C
Say out loud that you're alive
    F                  
You sure as hell weren't 
C
put down here
        G
Just to go to work and die
    F              C
And don't you look back
       F                C
On the road you leave behind
F            C    
Don't you go quiet 
G
into the night

[Verse 3]
Am            G           C
'Cause in the end all the square
F              C
We can get out of the debt
   G
We owe the man upstairs
Am      G              C
So just put your boots back on
    F                C
And walk out in this world
          G              F
With your head held high and strong
       G                Am
Have a whiskey when I'm gone
       D       G        C
Have a whiskey when I'm
