Robbie Fulks The Buck Starts Here written By Robbie Fulks
E B E
E A
I never knew this place had so much empty space
E
Until tonight
B7
When you walked right out the door
E A
And so I walked to our bedside and pulled out that 45
E B7 E
That laid for years behind our chest of drawers
E
At first it looked too worn to play,
A
The label all but washed away
E B7
Then I made out the name of my old friend
E
Thirty years and a scratch or two
A
But when the needle hit the groove
E B7 E
I knew it was crying time again
A
The Buck starts here
E
With Hank sure to follow
B7
Turn him up loud and clear
A E
He's singing my sorrow
A
Let the sad songs roll on
E
Through a house filled with tears
B7
Where the good times is gone
E
The Buck starts here
E
The people in the house next door
A
think I'm tearing up the floor
E
It's half past four
B
My lights are burning bright
E
But this occasion's no big deal
A
It's just some boys from Bakersfield
E B7 E
Who came around to help me through the night
A
The Buck starts here
E
With Hank sure to follow
B7
Turn him up loud and clear
A E
He's singing my sorrow
A
Let the sad songs roll on
E
Through a house filled with tears
B7
Where the good times is gone
E
The Buck starts here
