[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 light nights, couldn't stay out of fights
G
Them keep a-haunting me in 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 roll blues, danced holes in my shoes
G
There weren't another other way to be
D B7
For loveable losers, no account boozers
E7 A D
And honky tonk heroes like me
Repeat Chorus
Solo
