OLD CITY BAR

This song sounds best when you emphasize the bass notes in each chord. You will hear the bass progression in the song. Just follow along and it plays itself after awhile. A augmentedA TSO hallmark tune... enjoy!

In an Old City Bar...

(Continue Verses with same chord progression as above until...)

           FF - Am7Am7 - Am7Am7 (lift off the E-note in Am7Am7 chord) - C majorC
They'd be already there

G+G                  FF       C majorC
And...              started...    speak

     FF      C majorC       FF    C majorC
Then he called...   cab...     said "JFK"

If you want...

   C majorC    C/BC/B      A minorAm     C/GC/G
