Barroom Lament Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]My [F]first hangout [Dm]when [F]I moved to
Galveston was the Old Quarter Cafe.
It's [C]the best bar ever, [F]except they don't have liquor, food,
or customers.
So, in between sets I went across the street to drink whiskey,
eat peanuts, an[C]d s[F]tare at the cigarette[Bb] machine.
I'm tired of drinkin' whiskey [C]by myself I'm tired

[Verse 2]
[F]
of drinkin' [C]whiskey by myself
[F]I wish you'd take that bottle
And put it right back on the [C]shelf
Cause I'm tired of drinkin'
whiskey by my[F]self

[Verse 3]
[F]I go down to the bar most every night
[C]I go down to the bar most every night
[F]The girls don't even notice and
[Bb]the boys all want to fight
But [F]I go down to the b[C]ar
most every night
[F]

[Verse 4]
[C]
[F]The [Dm]juke[F]box has not played[C]
my song in [F]years
The jukebox has not played
my song in [C]years
[F]On this [C]same [F]old barstool just
[Bb]backin' shots with beers
And [F]the jukebox has not played
[C]my song in yea[F]rs[Dm]
[C]All

[Verse 5]
[F]my friends hav[C]e gone so far awa[F]y
Said all my friends have
gone so far [C]away[Dm]
[C]They all[F] moved down to Austin
Lord [Bb]I miss 'em night and da[F]y
[Bb]And all [F]my friends have [C]gone so far away

[Verse 6]
I'm [F]really not that [C]funny [F]anymore
I'm really not that funny [C]anymore
I [F]used to be a riot,
now [Bb]I just a lonely bore
And I'm [F]really not that [C]funny anymore
[F]

[Verse 7]
Do you think that I could stay
[C]in town with you[F]
Do you think that I could
stay in town with [C]you
It's [F]thirty miles to my place and
I'm [Bb]feelin' tired and blue
Do you [F]think that I could stay
[C]in town with you[F]

[Verse 8]
Cause I'm [F]tired of drinkin'
[C]whiskey by myself
[F]I'm tired of drinkin' whiskey by myself
[C]I w[F]ish you'd t[C]ake that b[F]ottle
And put it [Bb]right back on the shelf
Cause I'm [F]tired of drinkin'
[C]whiskey by myself
