Verse 1:
BB
I lost my money to some dirty old bookie
              E MajorE  BB
Way up in Philly, he was a bad man
BB
But you can't bet your life on the table
              E MajorE  BB
When you've got yourself a bad hand
BB
So I went and got my good friend Mickey
            E MajorE  BB
And we made ourselves a bold stand
F#F#
We wound up bleeding on the bar floor
       E MajorE     BB
But we don't bet on birds no more

Chorus:
      F#F#
Where them bets are tough and bartenders meet
  E MajorE       BB
The great American bar scene

BB E MajorE BB F#F# E MajorE BB

Verse 2:
BB
A augmentedA brother from Tulsa has got himself a warrant
             E MajorE  BB
But he's on the run up in Cheyenne
BB
They hammed me up and asked me some questions
          E MajorE   BB
But I ain't no damn rat, man
F#F#
Put cuffs on so tight that he started bleeding
     E MajorE         BB
From his wrist down to his right hand

Chorus:
F#F#
Put "State Trooper" on on the record machine
  E MajorE       BB
The great American bar scene

BB E MajorE BB F#F# E MajorE BB

Verse:
BB
Neon lightnin', wooden floors, light leaves
         E MajorE   BB
Her feet quietly slide across
BB
Tough boys of all came and went
            E MajorE    BB
She's a Heaven-sent and I'm at a loss

Chorus:
   F#F#
So if you've got the time, I've got the quarter
   E MajorE             BB
And a two-steppin' song called "Hey Porter"
F#F#
Why does love always feel like a fever dream
    E MajorE       BB
In the great American bar scene?

BB E MajorE BB F#F# E MajorE BB

Outro:
BB
Try like hell to keep my health,
            E MajorE  BB
treat others well, and understand,
F#F#
While I seek fair, uncertain, and mean
    E MajorE       BB
In the great american bar scene
