Chords with lyrics
Verse:
D MajorD G+G D MajorD
With the way things are going it wont be very long til those flashing neon lights
A augmentedA D MajorD
Are all but gone they say the nightlife ant the right life pour the whiskey
G+G D MajorD A augmentedA
Down the drain melt down all them 45's that talk about trucks and trains
Chorus:
D MajorD G+G
I'll be there when they burn the last honkytonk down
D MajorD E MajorE A augmentedA
In body mind and spirit under the table or under the ground
D MajorD G+G
The fading echoes of a barroom band might be the only sound
D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
I'll be there when they burn the last honkytonk down
Verse:
E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE
We'll pull a jukebox from the ashes dust it off and we'll turn it on
E MajorE BB
We'll dance in the burning embers until dawn
E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE
Pour a double from the rubble and we'll drink to the good ole days
E MajorE BB E MajorE
Set there til the smoke clears and my last selection plays
Chorus:
(play chorus again in E MajorE this time)
E MajorE A augmentedA
I'll be there when they burn the last honkytonk down
E MajorE BB
In body mind and spirit under the table or under the ground
E MajorE A augmentedA
The fading echoes of a barroom band might be the only sound
E MajorE BB E MajorE
