Barroom Lament

Intro - C  F

                      C          F
I'm tired of drinkin' whiskey by myself
                                   C
I'm tired of drinkin' whiskey by myself
  F
I wish you'd take that bottle
           Bb
And put it right back on the shelf
          F                 C            F
Cause I'm tired of drinkin' whiskey by myself

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


Break - C  F

                    C                 F
The jukebox has not played my song in years
                                      C
The jukebox has not played my song in years
F                              Bb
On this same old barstool just backin' shots with beers
        F               C                 F
And the jukebox has not played my song in years


                    C           F
All my friends have gone so far away
                                     C
Said all my friends have gone so far away
     F                             Bb
They all went down to Austin Lord I miss 'em night and day
    F                   C           F
And all my friends have gone so far away



Solo - F  C  F  C  F  Bb  F  C  F



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


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


                            C            F
Cause I'm tired of drinkin' whiskey by myself
                                   C
I'm tired of drinkin' whiskey by myself
  F
I wish you'd take that bottle
           Bb
And put it right back on the shelf
          F                 C            F     C     F
Cause I'm tired of drinkin' whiskey by myself
