Verse 1:
 D              D7
Low down leaving sun, I've done
              G
Did everything that needs done
      D       B7
Woe is me, why can't I see
    E7            A7
I best be leaving well enough alone
    D                   D7
Them neon light nights, couldn't stay out of fights
              G
Them keep a-haunting me in memories
                 D7      B7
There is one in every crowd, for crying out loud
    E7        A7
Why was it always turning out be me


Chorus:
 D                   D7
Where does it go, the good Lord only knows
                   G
It seems like it was just the other day
               D7        B7
I was down at Green Gables, hawking them tables
    E7                 A7
And generally blowing all my hard earned pay
 D                   D7
Piano roll blues, danced holes in my shoes
                  G
There weren't another other way to be
            D    D7    B7
For loveable losers, no account boozers
   E7    A7     D
And honky tonk heroes like me
