C
Well the band was on its final break

F
When he came walking in

    G7
The lines that showed more than his age

       C
He was drunk worn and thin



He sat down behind the ol' piano

    F
And he ran through a couple of notes

       G7
And he said would somebody buy me a drink boys

                          C
To kinda help me clear my throat



And he said what would you give to hear a song

F
What prize do memories bring

   G7
It ain't every day you get to hear 

                C
A living legend sing



I may forget a line or two

F
A few words now and then

   G7
It takes a drink to make me think

                C
And live it all again



This gray you see don't bother Jerry Lee

F
And neither do these lines

G7
I may have seen some better days boys

                                 C
But God knows I ain't reached my prime



I've got some scars from a woman's war

F
And playing those one-night stands

G7
Lord only knows if I had the time

              C
I'd do it all again


            F              G7
Yes I could still make 'em dance

       C
Like I did in San Antone

          F              C
And I can still make 'em cry

          D7               G7
And I can touch 'em with a song



I can still yet turn 'em on

F
The way that I did back then

G7
Lord only knows if I had the time

              C
I'd do it all again
