[Intro]
G C G C
       (X2)
[Verse 1]
C                  G                    Am
As past times go I guess I've seen some good
D                                        G
It isn’t always the best ones come and stay
C                                 G               Am
There's a crowd that thinks there is one, And it should
            F               G                        C
Cause they always seem to spend theirs the some old way
[Chorus 1]
          D
And they call it winding down
     G                 F
The six to ten crowd, smoky bars
C                     F
Notes on napkins and business cards
C                    G              C
Describe the days events and go on home
           D
And it's likely they won't drown
      G                F
The price goes up and one more round
       C                F
They close up all the bars downtown
         C               G                C
As the singer plays one last rip roaring song
[Verse 2]
    C                       G              Am
It seems like the same ol' motions every night
             D                              G
He wants to hear a golden oldie to take him back
          C                G                Am
And I'll play out all the emotions I can't fight
            F            G                           C
Relive the tensions and hope they're on the right track
[Chorus 2]
          D
And they call it winding down
     G                 F
The six to ten crowd, smoky bars
C                     F
Notes on napkins and business cards
C                    G              C
Describe the day's events and go on home
           D
And it's likely they won't drown
      G                F
The price goes up for one more round
       C                F
They close up all the bars downtown
         C               G                C
As the singer plays one last rip roaring song
[Outro]
           E            Am
Honky tonk heroes will turn the page
          G                 F
And the books are closed tonight
                C               F
Cause everybody knows you gotta leave ‘em up
               G           C
So they'll go home feeling right
            F                     G                C
You gotta leave 'em up so they'll go home feeling right
