Verse 1:

D

Low down leaving sun,i've done

G

Did everything that needs done

D B7

Woe is me,why can't i see

E7 A

I best be leaving well enough alone

D

Them neon black nights,couldn't stay out of fights

G

Them keep a-huanting me memories

D B7

There is one in every crowd,for crying out loud

E7 A

Why was it always turning out be me

Chorus:

D

Where does it go,the good Lord only knows

G

It seems like it was just the other day

D B7

I was down at Green Gables,hawking them tables

E7 A

And generally blowing all my hard earned pay

D

Piano rolled blues,danced holes in my shoes

G

There weren't another other way to be

D B7

For loveable losers,no luck can't boozers

E7 A

And honky tonk heroes like me

Chorus.
