Verse 1:
 D MajorD              D7D7
Low down leaving sun, I've done
              G+G
Did everything that needs done
      D MajorD       B7B7
Woe is me, why can't I see
    E7E7            A7A7
I best be leaving well enough alone
    D MajorD                   D7D7
Them neon light nights, couldn't stay out of fights
              G+G
Them keep a-haunting me in memories
                 D7D7      B7B7
There is one in every crowd, for crying out loud
    E7E7        A7A7
Why was it always turning out be me


Chorus:
 D MajorD                   D7D7
Where does it go, the good Lord only knows
                   G+G
It seems like it was just the other day
               D7D7        B7B7
I was down at Green Gables, hawking them tables
    E7E7                 A7A7
And generally blowing all my hard earned pay
 D MajorD                   D7D7
Piano roll blues, danced holes in my shoes
                  G+G
There weren't another other way to be
            D MajorD    D7D7    B7B7
For loveable losers, no account boozers
   E7E7    A7A7     D MajorD
And honky tonk heroes like me
