Re: I Cried Myself Awake - George Jones
Hi and welcome to the forum.
I can't find a recording by George Jones on YouTube or on iTunes, but there are a number of covers. The point being I don't know what key George recorded the song in, but here's a version in the key of G:

Regardless, it's a fairly simple 1-4-5 song. In the key of G, the chords would be G - C - D (with an occasional D7 following the D for the turnaround back to G).
Other chord combinations which would work are:
key of C: C - F - G (G7)
key of D: D - G - A (A7)
and so on.
Play around with those and if you can't crack it, holla back and I'll break it down for you. Good luck.
