Verse 1
D Well I guess its finally happened G D I'm tired of running 'round
I thank you for waitin' on me
A while I was a paintin' the town D For years and years you stood by me G D Tellin' me I'm ruinin' my life
I'm tired of all these honky tonks
A D And that fly by night life
Verse 2
D Well, tonight a bottle stands alone G D In the Dear John Letter Lounge
Waitin' on me for company,
A But I won't be around D Find someone else to take my place G D While I rejoin the wife
Cause I'm tired of all these Honky Tonks
A D And that fly by night life
Chorus:
G Old Ira's tendin' bar right now D Probably wonderin' where I am D A Zekey's sharkin' pool, for five a throw D And Old Lucy Fay Lorraine's G D Takin' side bets on the game A D And old Pop Fox keeps sayin' he's got to go
D G D A D ( short instrumental break played to melody of the last half of verse)
Verse 3
D I'm gonna miss old Jim and all my friends G D In the Dear John Lounge downtown
I'm gonna miss ole Willie on the Jukebox
A Singin' songs round after round D I'm gonna miss the face of strangers G D And the steady passers by
I'm gonna miss the Dear John Letter Lounge
A D And that fly by night life
Chorus:
G Old Ira's tendin' bar right now D Probably wonderin' where I am D A Zekey's sharkin' pool, for five a throw D And old Lucy brings the drinks G D She takes a side bet on the game A D And old Pop Fox keeps sayin' he's got to go
