Capo 4
[D]
Ricky got the quarters for the table and broke
        [G]
While I pulled hard on the sorrow and smoke
[D]
Raising up my bottle I looked for a chance
       [G]
As you set your glass down on the bar with a glance at me
[Chorus 1]
[A]           [G]         [D]
Down at the Horseshoe Lounge
[A]                [G]    [D]
Shuffleboard and neon light
[A]           [G]         [D]
Down at the Horseshoe Lounge
[A]              [G]         [D]
Cigarettes and whiskey tonight
[D]
Ricky said 'She's out of your league, let her go'
         [G]  
As I watched you pick your partner on that old dance floor
[D]
I know it didn't work out the first time we tried
           [G]
But I'd do anything to have you by my side again
[Chorus 2]
[A]           [G]         [D]
Down at the Horseshoe Lounge
[A]                [G]    [D]
Peel the label off a Miller Lite
[A]           [G]         [D]
Down at the Horseshoe Lounge
[A]              [G]         [D]
I sit here thinking 'bout you every night
[Bridge]
[G]                    [D]
Were you the one who faltered
    [A]             [D]
Was I the one who strayed
      [G]           [D]                   [A]
Maybe God left us out of the plans he made
[D]
So here's to missed beginnings and things that never start
            [G]
For these are the ghosts that run around in my heart
[D]
When I see that where I'm going isn't where I want to be
              [G]
I get the urge to look you up see if you would come and meet me
[Chorus 3]
[A]           [G]         [D]
Down at the Horseshoe Lounge
[A]                [G]    [D]
Hey, buddy have you got a light
[A]           [G]         [D]
Down at the Horseshoe Lounge
[A]              [G]         [D]
One more and I'll be alright
[D]
Ricky got the quarters for the table and broke
                    [G]
(Sing slowly) While I pulled hard on the sorrow and smoke
