Verse 1:
BB
Someday somebody's gonna stop and look
G# minorG#m
Or scratch their head and say
E MajorE
'What happened to him? It's been a while since I heard that name'
BB
The story goes
I told one last joke, bum one more smoke
G# minorG#m E MajorE
And then paid my tab and just disappeared one day
Pre-Chorus:
C# minorC#m E MajorE
I've kicked around this old town long enough to see
C# minorC#m
The one's who left to soon
E MajorE
And the ones who didn't know when to leave
Chorus:
BB E MajorE
And when it's my turn to jump off this carousel
BB E MajorE
I'm gonna ride on that white horse and run like hell
G# minorG#m
Be thankful for the friends I've made
E MajorE
The hungry years, the glory days
BB E MajorE
Give 'em one more song and lay this guitar down
BB
That's how I'm going out
E MajorE BB E MajorE
Verse 2:
BB
When I go
G# minorG#m
I'll be another page torn away, a memory made
E MajorE
Another ghost on music road
BB
But I can say I gave it hell, I rang the bell
G# minorG#m E MajorE
But I'll know when there's no more dreams to chase
Chorus:
BB E MajorE
And when it's my turn to jump off this carousel
BB E MajorE
I'm gonna ride on that white horse and run like hell

Be thankful for the friends I've made

The hungry years, the glory days

Give 'em one more song and lay this guitar down

That's how I'm going out
BB E MajorE
And when it's my turn to jump off this carousel
BB E MajorE
I'm gonna ride on that white horse and run like hell
G# minorG#m
No slowing down, no looking back
E MajorE
Let the credits roll and fade to black
BB E MajorE
Give 'em one more song and lay this guitar down
BB E MajorE
Give 'em one more song and lay this guitar down
BB E MajorE
That's how I'm going out
BB E MajorE
That's how I'm going out
