VERSE 2
C/G
Monday morning Merle
                                        F
Lets that old broken heart get back to work
    G
He hides all the holes and the hurt
                        C/G
Under the dirt on his shirt
        C
And the only way that he can get
C7
Through the days and the regret
     F
Is a song full of truth with some words he never said
            G
With those whiskey remedies
                                          C/G
And those old-school melodies you can't forget
