Brooks & Dunn – When We Were Kings (Guitar)

  A                    E
Tommy got off at the Texaco

 D                   A
Came bustin' in to Norma's Cafe

                  E
Said come on man we gotta go

 D                           A
You know how those part girls hate to wait

                          E
Filled up his daddy's trunk with ice and beer

 D                  A
Yeah he was always stealin' the old man's car

                  E
Radio never came in too clear

        D                   A
So I'd bang out one on my piece of junk guitar

     F#m     G 
Yeah we ruled from the blacktop

 D                       A
To the levee where the party never stopped

                 E
Yeah there was power in the night

      F#m                  G
The spirit was alive when we would sing

 A         E        D     G
Sha na na na na na na na

           A  
When We were kings

   A                          E
Sittin' around the fire one night Tommy called my name

D                        A 
I turned around he said hey what do ya think

                                  E
Had his arm around the prettiest girl I'd ever seen

D                           A 
He kissed her hard and took another drink

                      E
I say you must be an angel puttin' up with this guy

 D                    A
She laughed and said play me some Rolling Stones

                      E
I couldn't let that chance go by

      D                            A
Yeah I sang her "You Can't Always Get What you Want"

 A          E  
That was the fall of '69

D                  A
I guess Uncle Sam was hedging his bet

                    E
Tommy's number came up he said "Hey I'll be fine"

  D                          A  
"I'll teach 'em a lesson they'll never forget"

                      E
Angel and I went to wave goodbye

D                              A
I guess we'd always thought we'd see him again

                               E 
You know I took her out after that a couple of times

D                        A
We always just wound up talkn' 'bout him
