Key: E MajorE

Verse 1:

When they threw me out
                      E MajorE
I heard the slammin' of familiar swingin' doors
      B7B7
And as I stumbled 'cross that parkin' lot gravel
              E MajorE      B7B7
Heard 'em say don't come around anymore
       E MajorE
I'll have to find a new place for my boozin'
        A augmentedA                F#7F#7
Those uptight highbrows don't know what they're losin'
     E MajorE             B7B7
My last cold one on them has been drank
        E MajorE
The bar should say thanks

Chorus:
        A augmentedA
The bar should say thanks
            E MajorE
For all the good times I brought with me
            B7B7
Even when my mind was a total blank
            E MajorE
I was the life of the party
              A augmentedA
Before me, it was just a quiet place
             E MajorE
A augmentedA couple of guys cryin' along with Hank
                B7B7
Now it's the happenin' place to be

And it's all because of me
        E MajorE     B7B7
The bar should say thanks


Verse 2:
       E MajorE          A augmentedA
Don't they remember each closin' time
       E MajorE
Whose tab is always open?
         B7B7
And who can they always count on
                  E MajorE       B7B7
To hold the hand of a friend who's barely copin'?
      E MajorE
Who's the queen of rehashing her hard knocks
     A augmentedA             F#7F#7
Who drops all her spare cash in the jukebox
     E MajorE                B7B7
When I could have been puttin' it in the bank
        E MajorE
The bar should say thanks

Chorus:
        A augmentedA
The bar should say thanks
            E MajorE
For all the good times I brought with me
            B7B7
Even when my mind was a total blank
            E MajorE
I was the life of the party
              A augmentedA
Before me, it was just a quiet place
             E MajorE
A augmentedA couple of guys cryin' along with Hank
                B7B7
Now it's the happenin' place to be

And it's all because of me
        E MajorE
The bar should say thanks


Bridge:
       A augmentedA      A minorAm        E MajorE
Who'll they wake up each night when they turn on the lights?
      BB                   E MajorE
Tell me, what do they think they're gonna do without me
         A augmentedA     A minorAm         E MajorE
Who'll leave the parkin' lot last when they're takin' out the trash?
      F#F#              BB
They'll be lost without my bar room philosophy
    A augmentedA       A minorAm    E MajorE    C#7C#7
I guess l'll be lost too to be totally frank
