Tom: G
G C G
I catch my buzz in the black of night
D C G
Where nobody ever goes and the warm wind blows
G C G
If I lose my cool in the open and it shows
D C G
That I’m down and I ain't alright
G C G
I search my soul where there is no moon
D C G
The trees all cross and are covered in moss
C G
If the crickets want to know then I’ll tell them what I lost
D C G
Oh, I got the tailgate blues
Am G
[Verse 1]
D C G
I ain't sure where it all began
D G
Somewhere 'round here I know
D C G
This bridge was a little more crowded then
Em D
I was playing her a tailgate show
C D
And now I’m just sitting here alone
[Chorus]
G C G
To catch my buzz in the black of night
D C G
Where nobody ever goes and the warm wind blows
G C G
If I lose my cool in the open and it shows
D C G
That I’m down and I ain't alright
G C G
I search my soul where there is no moon
D C G
The trees all cross and are covered in moss
C G
If the crickets want to know then I’ll tell them what I lost
D C G
Oh, I got the tailgate blues
[Verse 2]
D C G
Damn that AM radio
D G
For playing more than a song
D C G
My heart won’t beat if the strings are broke
Em D
The melody’s hitting me wrong
C D
Right here where she belongs
[Chorus]
G C G
I catch my buzz in the black of night
D C G
Where nobody ever goes and the warm wind blows
G C G
If I lose my cool in the open and it shows
D C G
That I’m down and I ain't alright
G C G
I search my soul where there is no moon
D C G
The trees all cross and are covered in moss
C G
If the crickets want to know then I’ll tell them what I lost
D C G
Oh, I got the tailgate blues
[Verse 3]
Am C
The crickets heard my story and I listened to them sing
G D
I guess I’ll close the tailgate up
Am C G
There ain’t no telling what tomorrow might bring
D C
Maybe me and a Dixie cup
D
But that won’t be enough
[Chorus]
G C G
Yes I catch my buzz in the black of night
D C G
Where nobody ever goes and the warm wind blows
G C G
If I lose my cool in the open and it shows
D C G
That I’m down and I ain't alright
G C G
I search my soul where there is no moon
D C G
The trees all cross and are covered in moss
C G
If the crickets want to know then I’ll tell them what I lost
D C G
Oh, I got the tailgate blues
[Outro]
G C G
I catch my buzz in the black of night
D C G
Where nobody ever goes and the warm wind blows
G C G
If I lose my cool in the open and it shows
D C G
That I’m down and I ain't alright
