Eric Church – Mistress Named Music Medley Boston chords

[Verse 1]
CI still remember Miss Bessie singing
                                       DBlack, wrinkled fingers on ivory keys
C                                         DJust five years old, my church shoes a-dangling
C                                   G                CYeah, she's long gone and I'm still chasing this song

[Chorus]
      G        D                    G              DWith a guitar full of freedom and a head full of lines
      G                D                 Em         DThat nightlife full of demons has been a hell of a ride
D              G               Cadd9        GI got a crazy heart, but I was born to lose it
D             G            Em             D Married to a dream with a mistress named music

[Verse 2]
CNo hope and squarely solitary
                                               DEnough whiskey and Coke, boys, to get me in a bind
C                                               DAmps juiced, the whole damn block could hear me
                          CEven that cop car rolling past
                          GBy the time they hit the front door
               DI was out the back

[Chorus]
      G        D                    G              DWith a guitar full of freedom and a head full of lines
      G                D                 Em         DThat nightlife full of demons has been a hell of a ride
D              G               Cadd9        GI got a crazy heart, but I was born to lose it
D             G            Em             D Married to a dream with a mistress named music

[Verse 3]
CWhite calloused fingers on bronze and nylon
C                                       DThese same old boots are still tapping time
C                              DNot quite the buzz I used to tie on
             C               GBut 'til I'm gone, I'll be chasing this song

[Verse] (Lodi)
G                       C              GJust about a year ago, I set out on the road

G              Em                  C                 GThings got bad, things got worse, I guess you know the tune
