[Intro]
Em G Am Em G Am
[Verse 1]
Em G AmShe moved here by way of California
Em G AmShe got tired of the city where angels fly
Em G Am EmAnd I fell in deeper, deeper than her daddy's pockets
G Am Em G AmThe ones he used my land to line
[Verse 2]
Em G AmThe first time I ever laid my eyes upon her
Em G AmShe had two Jack Daniels in her hands
Em G AmAnd she could hold her liquor better than a whiskey barrel
Em G AmHad a hold on me by three drinks in
[Chorus]
Em GShe left me cold at the altar
AmHolding on to nothing but the ring I bought her
Em GI got burned by the devil's daughter
Am Em G Am Em G AmShe knew how to use that firewater
[Verse 3]
Em G AmHer old man kept buying up all Wyoming
Em G AmAnd my old ranch was the next one on his list
Em G AmSomebody told him I's never gonna sign those papers
Em G AmSo he sent her armed with whiskey to get what he couldn't get
[Chorus]
Em GShe left me cold at the altar
AmHolding on to nothing but the ring I bought her
Em GI got burned by the devil's daughter
Am Em G Am Em G AmShe knew how to use that firewater
[Bridge]
C ATook her time to get what she wanted
C AGot me drunk out of my mind
C AThe night before she was supposed to take my name
Em G AWell, she got it on that dotted line
Em G A GYeah, she got it, everything that's mine
[Interlude]
Em G Am Em G Am
[Verse 4]
EmNow there's some Bullet in a bottle that's almost empty
G AmAnd there's two bullets in my old Colt .45
Em G AmThey're riding shotgun, I'm whiskey bent and hell bound
Em G AmWe're gonna send that devil and his daughter home tonight
[Chorus]
Em GShe left me cold at the altar
AHolding on to nothing but the ring I bought her
Em GI got burned by the devil's daughter
AmShe drowned me in that firewater
Em GShe left me cold at the altar
AmLed me like a lamb right to the slaughter
Em GI'm gonna burn that devil's daughter
Am Bm G AmPass me one more shot
Em G Am Em G AmOf firewater
[Outro]
Em G Am Em G AmThat firewater
