Was It 26
Chris Stapleton
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] Livin’ hard was easy when I was young and bulletproof I had no chains to bind me just a guitar and a roof Emptied every bottle when I poured I never missed I had bloodshot eyes at 25 or was it 26? It didn’t seem to matter what price I had to pay ’Cause anything worth having I’d just lose it anyway Friends worried about me they asked if I was sick Thought I would die at 25 or was it 26? [Chorus] Those two years run together like whiskey over ice Melting in my memories like somebody else’s life I’m glad to say I’ve come around but if I could have one wish I’d like another try at 25 or was it 26? [Verse] I met a girl from Georiga smart pretty college grad I thought my luck was changing up till then it’d all been bad Guess I fell in love with her all it took was one kiss But then she said goodbye at 25 or was it 26? [Chorus] Those two years run together like whiskey over ice Melting in my memories like somebody else’s life I’m glad to say I’ve come around but if I could have one wish I’d like another try at 25 or was it 26? [Verse] Yeah I"ve been down the road before almost as far as hell Deception or redemption I guess only time will tell 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] Those two years run together like whiskey over ice Melting in my memories like somebody else’s life I’m glad to say I’ve come around but if I could have one wish I’d like another try at 25 or was it 26? I’d like another try at 25 or was it 26?
