Slaid Cleaves - Drinkin' Days


CAPO: 4th Fret




INTRO: C

CHORUS:

My drinking days are over
        F                     C
No more nights at the Carousel

My buddies say they're gonna miss me but
                   G   F
Who could ever tell
                  C
I never knew what time it was
                       F      C
Til closing time came 'round
                     G      F
My drinking days are over
                        C
But I'm still trouble bound



I used to hang at the Horseshoe
             F                       C
You'd see me spinning at the Broken Spoke

I'd take my gal to The Gaslight
                        G      F
We lived on whiskey and smoke
                      C
Don't know how it all started
                       F     C
Didn't mean to hurt no one
                         G               C
Some bad luck and what's done can't be undone



Well, it was way past midnight
       F                 C
Anetta hollered out last call

I turned around and Wranglin' Ron
                    G    F
Was headed for a brawl
                         C
I didn't know that other guy was a cop
                 F     C
I guess I didn't care
                   G                    C
Sometime you gotta act like you gotta pair


CHORUS:

My drinking days are over
        F                     C
No more nights at the Carousel

My buddies say they're gonna miss me but
                   G   F
Who could ever tell
                  C
I never knew what time it was
                       F      C
Til closing time came 'round
                     G      F
My drinking days are over
                        C
But I'm still trouble bound


INSTRUMENTAL: C   F  C      G  F  C      G  C


                                      F
Well, I got a ride out to Huntsville
                   C
I'll be there for awhile

Staring out a mesh window
            G      F
Mile after mile
                   C
I don't have any regrets
                     F    C
Well, maybe just a few
                  G                    C
But a man's gonna do what he's gonna do


CHORUS:

My drinking days are over
        F                     C
No more nights at the Carousel

My buddies say they're gonna miss me
                   G   F
They can go to hell
                  C
I never knew what time it was
                       F      C
Til closing time came 'round
                     G      F
My drinking days are over
                        C     F
But I'm still trouble bound
                  C
I never knew what time it was
                       F      C
Til closing time came 'round
                     G      F
My drinking days are over
                    C
I'm still trouble bound
                     G      F   C
