CAPO: 2nd Fret
[Intro]
C
[Verse 1]
G
The Cowboys are winning, the bar is doing okay
Am F
They won't mind paying me to play
C G
Well, I'm ten days out on a two week Texas tour
F G C G
I hit San Antonio today
[Verse 2]
C G
This is a genuine roadhouse on the outside of town
Am F
The newest old dance hall around
C G
They like songs about Texas and most things by Willie
F G C
They let the kids and the dogs run around
[Pre-Chorus]
G
There's a sign on the back wall
Am
Behind the bottles and stools
D G
Announcing the closing time rules
[Chorus]
F G
It says: You don't have to go home
C
But you can't stay here
G
Leave your change for the waitress
C
And finish your beer
F C Am
We all hope you have somebody you can hold tight
F G C G
When it's last call, that's it for the night
[Verse 3]
C G
There are one dollar bills stuck to the ceiling
Am F
The table legs wear boots and blue jeans
C G
There's a cowboy in the corner who can't rope a cowgirl
F G C G
His pickup spits dirt when he leaves
[Verse 4]
C G
Here's two-year old Ruby, she smiles while I'm playing
Am F
Runs away before her mom can catch her
C G
Everyone works here, or knows someone who does
F G C G
Before long, the bar is self-serve
[Instrumental]
C G Am F C G F G C
C G Am F C G F G C
[Pre-Chorus]
G
Then the bartender asks me
Am
To make the last call
D C
So I read from the sign on the wall
[Chorus]
F G
I say: You don't have to go home
C
But you can't stay here
G
Leave your change for the waitress
C
And finish your beer
F C Am
We all hope you have somebody you can hold tight
F G C G
When it's last call, that's it for the night
F G C
Now it's last call, so that's it for tonight
