It's [C]nine o' [em]clock on a [am]Sunday,[C] the [F]regular [C]crowd shuffles i[D7]n.
|
|
[G]There's an [C]old man [em]sitting [am]next to me [C]makin' [F]love to his [G]tonic and [C F Cmaj7 G]gin.
|
|
He says, "[C]Son, can you [em]play me a [am]memory? [C]I'm [F]not really [C]sure how it [D7]goes,
|
|
[G]but it's [C]sad and it's [em]sweet and I [am]knew it com[C]plete when I [F]wore a [G]younger man's [C]clothes."

[G]Now [C]John at the [em]bar is a [am]friend of mine,[C] he [F]gets me my [C]drinks for [D7]free,
|
|
[G]and he's [C]quick with a [em]joke or to [am]light up your [C]smoke. But there's [F]someplace [G]he'd rather [C]be.[F Cmaj7]
|
|
[G]He says "[C]Bill, I be[em]lieve this is [am]killing me.[C]" As a [F]smile ran a[C]way from his [D7]face.
|
|
"[G]Well, I'm [C]sure that I [em]could be a [am]movie star[C], if [F]I could get [G]out of this [C]place."

[G]Now [C]Paul is a [em]real estate [am]novelist, [C]who [F]never had [C]time for a [D7]wife.
|
|
[G]And he's [C]talkin' with [em]Davy who's [am]still in the [C]Navy. And [F]probably [G]will be for [C]li[F Cmaj7]fe.
|
|
[G]And the [C]waitress is [em]practicing [am]politics,[C] as the [F]businessmen [C]slowly get [D7]stoned.
|
|
[G]Yes, they're [C]sharing a [em]drink they call l[am]oneliness.[C] But it's [F]better than [G]drinkin' [C]alone.
|

|
|
[G]It's a [C]pretty good [em]crowd for a [am]Saturday, [C]and the [F]manager gi[C]ves me a [D7]smile.
|
|
[G]'Cause he [C]knows that it's [em]me they've been [am]comin' to [C]see. To for[F]get about [G]life for a [C]while.[Cmaj7 G]
|
|
And the [C]piano [em]sounds like a [am]carnival [C]and the [F]microphone [C]smells like a [D7]beer.
|
|
[G]And they [C]sit at the [em]bar and [am]put bread in my [C]jar and say "[F]Man, what are [G]you doin' [C]here?"
