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]
EmLivin' hard was easy, when I was yoDung and bulletproof
I haAd no chains to bind me, just a gGuitar and a roEmof
Emptied every bottle, when I Dpoured I never missed
I had bloAodshot eyes at 25, orG was itEm 26?
ItEm didn't seem to matter, what priDce I had to pay
A. G Em
'Cause anything worth having I'd just lose it anyway
Friends worried about me Dthey asked if I was sick
ThoughtA I would die at 25 oGr was iEmt 26?
[Chorus]
Those Atwo years run together likEme whiskey over ice
MeltingB in my memories like someAbody else's life G Em
I'm gAlad to say I've come around but iEmf I could have one wAish
I'd Emlike another try at 2A5 or wGas itEm 26?
[Verse]
EmI met a girl from Georiga smart Dpretty college grad
I Athought my luck was changing up till then it'Gd all beEmen bad
Guess I fell in love with her Dall it took was one kiss
But tAhen she said goodbye at G25 or wEmas it 26?
[Chorus]
Those Atwo years run together likEme whiskey over ice
MeltingB in my memories like someAbody else's life G Em
I'm gAlad to say I've come around but iEmf I could have one wAish
I'd Emlike another try at 2A5 or wGas itEm 26?
[Verse]
YeEmah, I"ve been down the road befDore almost as far as hell
DecAeption or redemption I guess only Gtime will tEmell
I have in the knowledge tDhat God gave us a gift
So G Em
I couldn't hide at 25 or was it 26?
[Chorus]
Those Atwo years run together likEme whiskey over ice
MeltingB in my memories like someAbody else's life G Em
I'm gAlad to say I've come around but iEmf I could have one wAish
I'd Emlike another try at 2A5 or wGas itEm 26?
I'd lEmike another try at 25A or waGs it Em26?
