Slaid Cleaves - Drinkin' Days
CAPO: 4th Fret
INTRO: C
CHORUS:
My drinking days are over
F C
No more nights at the Carousel
My buddies say they're gonna miss me but
G F
Who could ever tell
C
I never knew what time it was
F C
Til closing time came 'round
G F
My drinking days are over
C
But I'm still trouble bound
I used to hang at the Horseshoe
F C
You'd see me spinning at the Broken Spoke
I'd take my gal to The Gaslight
G F
We lived on whiskey and smoke
C
Don't know how it all started
F C
Didn't mean to hurt no one
G C
Some bad luck and what's done can't be undone
Well, it was way past midnight
F C
Anetta hollered out last call
I turned around and Wranglin' Ron
G F
Was headed for a brawl
C
I didn't know that other guy was a cop
F C
I guess I didn't care
G C
Sometime you gotta act like you gotta pair
CHORUS:
My drinking days are over
F C
No more nights at the Carousel
My buddies say they're gonna miss me but
G F
Who could ever tell
C
I never knew what time it was
F C
Til closing time came 'round
G F
My drinking days are over
C
But I'm still trouble bound
INSTRUMENTAL: C F C G F C G C
F
Well, I got a ride out to Huntsville
C
I'll be there for awhile
Staring out a mesh window
G F
Mile after mile
C
I don't have any regrets
F C
Well, maybe just a few
G C
But a man's gonna do what he's gonna do
CHORUS:
My drinking days are over
F C
No more nights at the Carousel
My buddies say they're gonna miss me
G F
They can go to hell
C
I never knew what time it was
F C
Til closing time came 'round
G F
My drinking days are over
C F
But I'm still trouble bound
C
I never knew what time it was
F C
Til closing time came 'round
G F
My drinking days are over
C
I'm still trouble bound
G F C
My drinking days are over
