Tom: Am
G C G C (X2)
[Verse 1]
C G Am
As past times go I guess I've seen some good
D G
It isn’t always the best ones come and stay
C G Am
There's a crowd that thinks there is one, And it should
F G C
Cause they always seem to spend theirs the some old way
[Chorus 1]
D
And they call it winding down
G F
The six to ten crowd, smoky bars
C F
Notes on napkins and business cards
C G C
Describe the days events and go on home
D
And it's likely they won't drown
G F
The price goes up and one more round
C F
They close up all the bars downtown
C G C
As the singer plays one last rip roaring song
[Verse 2]
C G Am
It seems like the same ol' motions every night
D G
He wants to hear a golden oldie to take him back
C G Am
And I'll play out all the emotions I can't fight
F G C
Relive the tensions and hope they're on the right track
[Chorus 2]
D
And they call it winding down
G F
The six to ten crowd, smoky bars
C F
Notes on napkins and business cards
C G C
Describe the day's events and go on home
D
And it's likely they won't drown
G F
The price goes up for one more round
C F
They close up all the bars downtown
C G C
As the singer plays one last rip roaring song
[Outro]
E Am
Honky tonk heroes will turn the page
G F
And the books are closed tonight
C F
Cause everybody knows you gotta leave ‘em up
G C
So they'll go home feeling right
F G C
You gotta leave 'em up so they'll go home feeling right
