Four years of hard work!

This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!

This is about a um...I'd kinda reached the end of an emotional cul de sac one particular evening um.
It's a strange sort of evening, I ending up at a little fine old place called 'The Three little Pigs'.
Well I was staring at the beer nuts and the swizzle sticks and the,
the three little pigs and I was getting a lot of visual and verbal insubordination
from a double knit character in the corner.

Intro:
Ebmaj9 | Cm7 | F9 | Bb | single notes Bb C D

VERSE 1:

Ebmaj9 Cm7 F9
Warm beer and cold women, I just don't fit in
Bb
Every Joint I stumbled into tonight
Eb s.n. Bb C D
That's just how it's been.
Eb Cm7
All these double knit strangers with
F9 Bb
Gin and vermouth, and recycled stories
Eb s.n. Eb F G
In the naugahyde booths.

Ab Bb Emaj9 Cm7
And the platinum blondes, and tobacco brunettes,
F9
I'll just be drinkin to forget you babe,
Bb Eb s.n. Eb F G
I'll lite another cigarette.
Ab Bb Emaj9 Cm7
And the band's playin' something by Tammy Wynette,
F9 Bb Eb s.n. Bb C D
And the drinks are on me tonight.

Ebmaj9 Cm7 F9
all my conversations now I'll just be talkin' about you baby
Bb Eb s.n. Bb C D
ah, borin' some sailor as I try to get through
Eb Cm7
I just want him to listen now
F9
I said that's all you have to do
Bb
he said I'm better off without you
Eb s.n. Eb F G
till I showed him my tattoo

Ab Bb Emaj9 Cm7
now the moon's rising ain't got no time to lose
F9
time to get down to drinking
Bb Eb s.n. Eb F G
tell the band to play the blues
Ab Bb Emaj9 Cm7
drink's are on me, I'll buy couple rounds
F9 Bb Eb s.n. Bb C D
at the last ditch attempt saloon
