Choose a fret

            CAPO on 2nd Fret

Verse I:
                      G
I don't care that you done me wrong
                    Dm
'Cause I've already moved on
                    C9
Don't care what his name is
        G
Girl it is what it is
        G
I won't waste a dime
          Dm
Or the bartenders time
            C9
Tryin' to catch a buzz
         G
over the thought of us

Chorus:
                    G
But I'll drink to a country song
                C9
To another long work week gone
         Em                  D                 C
And I'll raise my glass to a long lost buddy I ain't seen
                 G
I might stay for one more round
           C
Or I might close this place down
          Am                     Bm                C
But don't think for a second I'm out to drown your memory
                         G
Baby you ain't worth the whiskey

Instrumental: G Dm C9 G

Verse II:
                          G
It don't matter what your friends say
                    Dm
They never liked me anyway
                  C9
So if they see me drunk in this bar
                G
It ain't over a broken heart

Chorus:
                    G
But I'll drink to a country song
                C9
To another long work week gone
       Em                    D                 C
And Im raising my glass to a long lost buddy I ain't seen
                 G
I might stay for one more round
           C
Or I might close this place down
          Am                     Bm                C
But don't think for a second I'm out to drown your memory
                         G
Baby you ain't worth the whiskey

Instrumental II: G  Dm C9 G F F F F C C C

Chorus:
                    G
But I'll drink to a country song
                C9
To another long work week gone
       Em                    D                 C
And Im raising my glass to a long lost buddy I ain't seen
                 G
I might stay for one more round
           C
Or I might close this place down
          Am                     Bm                C
But don't think for a second I'm out to drown your memory
         Am                     Bm                C
No don't think for a second I'm out to drown your memory
                         G      Dm C9 G
Baby you ain't worth the whiskey
                         G      Dm C9 G
Baby you ain't worth the whiskey

While I appreciate the simplicity of this song and its structure, I can't help but point out that the chord choices are quite basic and don't do much to push a beginner guitar player's skills. Sure, the G, Dm, and C9 chords are staple chords, but if the goal is to truly learn and grow as a guitarist, it would be beneficial to introduce some more complex chord progressions and techniques. Also, for anyone learning, it would be great to see some detailed breakdowns or tips on how to transition smoothly between these chords. The capo on the 2nd fret is a nice touch for accommodating different vocal ranges, but let's encourage players to explore beyond just the standard open chords. Overall, the song is catchy enough, but let’s aim for depth and variety to really enhance the learning experience!
