TILL THE BARS BURN DOWN
JD Souther
E A E
Well the sun is sinkin’ and people start thinkin’ at twilight
E A B
Tell me what can I do till a quarter of two to feel alright
E A E A
Well, somebody’s always playin’..down at the Hoorah Range
E B E
And a whole lotta women a dancin’ and drinkin’, just a swingin’
B
I’ll be there ... ’till the bars burn down
E
I gotta a chair.. ‘till the bars burn down
B
I’m gonna stare ... ’till the bars burn down
B C# D D# E
I’ll be there until the bars burn down
E A E
Ah, it’s ten after five and I see ten other guys with the same thought
E A E
Well they’d love to go out but they’ll probably go home ‘cause they’d get caught
B E A
Later on you see ‘em tip toin’ up the stairway carryin’ a woman in shoes
On their way to wastin’ a lot of good conversation and booze
B
I’ll be there ... ‘till the bars burn down
E
I gotta a chair..till the bars burn down
B
I’m gonna stare ... ‘till the bars burn down
E
I’ll be there until the bars burn down
A D A E
Tell me why if women get lonely just like men, how come you never can find them then?
A D E
How come you gotta go down there again and again
B
I’ll be there until the bars burn down
E
‘Til the bars burn down
B
until the bars burn down
E
I’ll be there until the bars burn down
E A E
I gotta find me a honey if it costs me all my money and then some
A B
I come down here too much to go home without having some real fun
E G# A C
Well you can even leave it all tomorrow and still not be in love
E B E
You got a family man and there ain’t no place like home
I’m going home
(REPEAT CHORUS, AD LIB, AND FADE)
