Chris Stapleton version of
Was it 26
Tune to D tuning
For intro and opening finger an open Dsus2 on the 4th fret
Slide up to 7th fret then down to second fret
This also played as a musical bridge between chorus and verse
Great fun with this song
[Verse]
Em D
Livin' hard was easy, when I was young and bulletproof
A G Em
I had no chains to bind me, just a guitar and a roof
D
Emptied every bottle, when I poured I never missed
A G Em
I had bloodshot eyes at 25, or was it 26?
Em D
It didn't seem to matter, what price I had to pay
A. G Em
'Cause anything worth having I'd just lose it anyway
D
Friends worried about me they asked if I was sick
A G Em
Thought I would die at 25 or was it 26?
[Chorus]
A Em
Those two years run together like whiskey over ice
B A G Em
Melting in my memories like somebody else's life
A Em A
I'm glad to say I've come around but if I could have one wish
Em A G Em
I'd like another try at 25 or was it 26?
[Verse]
Em D
I met a girl from Georiga smart pretty college grad
A G Em
I thought my luck was changing up till then it'd all been bad
D
Guess I fell in love with her all it took was one kiss
A G Em
But then she said goodbye at 25 or was it 26?
[Chorus]
A Em
Those two years run together like whiskey over ice
B A G Em
Melting in my memories like somebody else's life
A Em A
I'm glad to say I've come around but if I could have one wish
Em A G Em
I'd like another try at 25 or was it 26?
[Verse]
Em D
Yeah, I"ve been down the road before almost as far as hell
A G Em
Deception or redemption I guess only time will tell
D
I have in the knowledge that God gave us a gift
So G Em
I couldn't hide at 25 or was it 26?
[Chorus]
A Em
Those two years run together like whiskey over ice
B A G Em
Melting in my memories like somebody else's life
A Em A
I'm glad to say I've come around but if I could have one wish
Em A G Em
I'd like another try at 25 or was it 26?
Em A G Em
I'd like another try at 25 or was it 26?
