[verse]
G
I had plenty of keys on my key ring
D
A beautiful home I had everything
C7 G
With a lovin' wife and a car to drive
(1) D (2)
I came home from work every day at five
G (3)
And one by one I started losin' them keys
(4) D(5)
My darling wife I just couldn't please
C7(6) G (7)
My boss got on my nerves one day
(1) D (2)
I knew that I was on my way
[Chorus]
C G
I lost my wife, I lost my home
D G
Quit my job, and set out alone
C G (8)x8
With just one key on my key chain
D G (9)
I'm gonna start all over again
[verse]
G (10)
She finally decided we just couldn't be
(11) D (12)
She wanted things I just couldn't see
C7(13) G (14)
She said, I'm tired of waiting around
(1) D (2) without s5
She took the last train out of town
[Repeat chorus] (15) lead break
[verse]
G
Well the bankers came and took the key to my home
D
Just one key left from all I ever owned
C G (16)
I'm turning that key lettin' out the clutch
(1) D (2)
I never did like this town that much
[Repeat chorus]

Note for lick (5) :
3h5
4s5 I fret the B string 3rd fret with my index finger and the G string 4th
fret with the middle finger. Then I hammer the B string 5th fret with
my ring finger. This could also be played using slides for both
instead of the hammer. I prefer the combo slide/hammer.
