(The high e sounds muted for most of the song.)
When he plays the Em6 chord he adds and removes a finger on the G string.

Em6 C F/C (4x)
Em6
Dug up a fifth of Hood River gin
C
That stuff tastes like medicine
F/C C
But I'll take it
Em6
It'll do
Em6
On the couch in the living room all day long
C
Music on the television playing our song
F/C C
I'm in the mood
Em6
The mood for you
Em6 C F (2x)
Em6
Turn the volume up real high
C
All of that money look at it fly
F/C C Em6
And you smoking like a chimney
Em6
Shadows crawled across the living room's length
C
I held onto you with a desperate strength
F/C C Em6
With everything with everything in me
D C
And I handed you a drink of a lovely little thing
Em6
On which our survival depends
D C
People say friends don't destroy one another
D
What do they know about friends?
Em6 C F/C (4x)
Em6
Thunderclouds forming cream white moon
C
Everything's going to be okay soon
F/C C
Maybe tomorrow
Em6
Maybe the next day
Em6
Carried you up the stairs that night
C
All of this could be yours if the price is right
F/C C
I heard cars headed down to oblivion
Em6
Up on the expressway
D
Your drunken kisses as light as the air
C Em6
Maybe everything that falls down eventually rises
D
Our house sinking into disrepair
C Em6
Ah but look at this showroom filled with fabulous prizes
Em6
Em6 C F/C
