Jerry Jeff Walker – Time To Stay Home (Guitar)

E         A          F#m
This is a time to be cautious;

E         F#m        B7
This is a time to be smart

E         F#m        E         F#m
This is a time to consider the options,

E                   C#m          F#m   B7
And be careful with games of the heart

  A              G#m       F#m     E
A time for young fellas to carry umbrellas

       A            G#m
And considering the climate,

    F#m          E
you really might find it

    F#m           B7           E   F#m
The right time to just stay at home

E                         F#m
It's dangerous out on the freeway,

    B7                   F#m   B7
Its dangerous out in the bars

E                  F#m
Everybody's mad at somebody,

C#m               F#m             B7
It's dangerous to drink and drive cars

           A            G#m
Whiskey is bad for your liver,

    F#m         E
But when you consider

       A         G#m
The condition of water,

  F#m        E
A man really ought to

F#m             B7             E
Abstain for the night and stay home

B        G#m                   C#m
You know AIDS is to real to be foolish,

     G#m                           C#m
It's changed all the rules we play by

     F#m
So a man can't take chances

   B7
In other peoples' pants it's

    C#m               F#m      B7
Too risky now to just casually try

    A           G#m
And night after night of

    F#m         E
the social high-five clubs

A         G#m
Leaves me believing

    F#m         E
I'd find more relief in

     F#m                B7        E  F#m E
Some Earl Klugh and the refuge of home

           F#m          E
Guess I’ll turn off the porch light,

          F#m        E
Next I'll unplug the phones

E        F#m                E
I'll get in my robe and the jammies,

  C#m            F#m          B7
A nice fire sure warms up the bones

        A            G#m
I might write a long letter,

    F#m         E
But what I like better

   A            G#m
Is taking my guitar down

    F#m        E
and playing an old song

     F#m           B7            E
That makes me feel glad I stayed home

       A            F#m           E
Well tonight I feel glad I stayed home
