New Years Eve

C  G  C  G

[Verse 1]
C                       G
The door was open I was seething
C                           F
Your mother burst in it was freezing
C                           G         C
She said it looks like it’s trying to rain
C                 G
I was lost I felt sea sick
C                     F
You convinced me that he’d left
C                         G             C
You said keep talking but don’t you use names
F
I scolded your driver and your brother
                                               C
We are old enough to know how long you’ve been hooked
F
And we’ve all been through the war, and each time you score
                                       C        G
Someone gets hauled and handcuffed and booked

[Verse 2]
C                        G
It felt like four in the morning
C                 F
What sounded like fire works
C                G            C
Turned out to be just what it was
C                     G
The stars looked like diamonds
C             F
Then came the sirens
C            G          C
And everyone started to cuss
F
All the noise was disturbing, and I couldn’t find Irving
                                   C
It was like two stations on at the same time
F
And then I hid your car keys, and I made black coffee
                                 C        G
And I dumped out the rest of the rum - mh-h-hm

[verse 3]
C                G
Nick and Socorro broke up
C                    F
And Candice wouldn’t shut up
C      G                  C
Fin he recorded the whole thing
C           G
Ray he said damn you
C                    F
And someone broke my camera
C                     G                     C
And it was New Years, and we all started to sing

[Chorus]
F      C                 G             C                F
Should auld acquaintance be forgot and never brought to mind
F      C                 G                 Am      F         C
Should auld acquaintance be forgot for the sake of auld lang syne

[Verse]
F
I was leaving in the morning with Charles for Las Vegas
                          C
And I didn’t plan to come back
F
I had only a few things, two hundred dollars
                                C      G
And my records in a brown paper sack
C            G
I ran out on Sheila
C               F
Everything’s in storage
C                          G               C
Calvin’s right I should go back to driving truck

[Chorus]
F      C                 G             C                F
Should auld acquaintance be forgot and never brought to mind
F      C                 G                 Am      F         C
Should auld acquaintance be forgot for the sake of auld lang syne
