Tom: C

C                    C7     F
Well it’s out of the bottle and into the glass

G7                      C
And down the hatch once more

               C7        F
It keeps me so high I forget my own troubles

G7                         C
And beats me away from the door


         C7        F
Over and over I’ll play this old record

G7                C
Till it’s time to close

               C7   F
It’s over it’s over how can I tell her

G7                C
Maybe she already knows


F                                    C   C7
All night long I’ve been singing the blues

F                          G7
All night long down in the blues

C            C7             F
Countin’ the bottles that’s left on my table

    G7                      C
The tips that I used for my gain


                C7          F
But I don’t get nothing not even at poker
 
G7                         C
And I don’t have no one to blame

            C7          F
Outside the summer moon melts on the mountain

G7                            C
Mosquitoes and crickets raise hell


                      C7         F
Well it’s down on the dollar for this old blue collar

G7                         C
And I ain’t got nothing to sell


F                                    C
All night long I’ve been singing the blues

F                          G7
All night long down in the blues


C                    C7     F
Well it’s out of the bottle and into the glass

G7                      C
And down the hatch once more

               C7        F
It keeps me so high I forget my own troubles

G7                         C
And beats me away from the door
