Chords with lyrics

E MajorE         E7E7
I'm gettin' tired of runnin' round
A augmentedA            A minorAm
Believe I'll get married and settle down
E MajorE
Cause this old night life
   C#7C#7    C7C7
This mean old sportin' life
B7B7  E MajorE    B7B7   E MajorE
You know it's killing me

E MajorE       E7E7
I got a letter from my home
A augmentedA
Most of my good friends
A minorAm
They are dead and gone
   E MajorE
You know it makes me worry
    C#7C#7    C7C7
And it makes me wonder
B7B7 E MajorE   B7B7    E MajorE
About the times to come

E MajorE          E7E7
Mother used to fall on her knees and pray
A augmentedA         A minorAm
These are the very words she did say
E MajorE           C#7C#7    C7C7
She said "Oh Johnny, my lovin' Johnny...
B7B7   E MajorE     B7B7     E MajorE
Won't you please change your ways"

E MajorE        E7E7
I been a gambler and a cheater too
A augmentedA        A minorAm
Now it's come my time to lose
E MajorE
Cause this old sportin' life
   C#7C#7          C7C7
You know she's holdin' the best hand
B7B7  E MajorE  B7B7  E MajorE
And what can I do...

   E MajorE         E7E7
Cause I'm gettin' tired of runnin' round
A augmentedA            A minorAm
Believe I'll get married and settle down
E MajorE
Cause this old night life
 C#7C#7  C7C7
It's a bad life
B7B7  E MajorE   B7B7  E MajorE   C#7C#7 C7C7 B7B7 E MajorE B7B7 E MajorE
And it's killing me
