Chords

By Charley Crocket This is my first attempt at making one of these. Any constructive critisicm is welcome. I like this song and think I figured it out by ear. Let me know what you think. You'll have to listen for yourself to figure out what you want to do with strumming. R [Intro] D [Verse 1]
                  D
Everybody's goin' away

                               G
Said they're gone this time to stay

                           A
There's not a soul I know around

                    D
Everybody's leavin' town
[Verse 2]
                                     D
Some caught a freight, some caught a plane

                             G
Find the sunshine, leave the rain

                                 A
They said this town's a waste of time

                                    D
I guess they're right, it's wastin' mine
[Chorus]
                           G      A
Some gotta win, some gotta lose

                            D     A
Good time Charlie's got the blues

                            D     A
Good time Charlie's got the blues
[Bridge] D G A D [Verse 3]
                               D
Ya know my heart keeps tellin' me

                            G
"You're not a kid at thirty-three"

                              A
"Ya play around, ya lose your wife"

                                 D
"Ya play too long, you lose your life"
[Verse 4]
                               D
I walk the streets to ease the pain

                             G
Won't do a thing to ease the rain
A hold I'd love to try and settle down
                        D
But everybody's leavin' town
[Chorus]
                           G      A
Some gotta win, some gotta lose

                            D     A
Good time Charlie's got the blues

                            D     A
Good time Charlie's got the blues

                            D     A
Good time Charlie's got the blues
