           G                           C            G
When you close up the bar, would you please lock me in,

      G                     D
I'd rather be here then go home...

 G                    C         G             G       D          G
Got me no wife and I had me no kids so I'd rather be here than alone.

Mary my bride, she was just seventeen,

Her parents they didn't approve...

Her mom was a bitch 'cause I wasn't rich and they sent her to boarding school.

I'd rather be here then go home...

(Verse)
 G                          C        G
Lost my true love, 'twas a family affair,

 G                     D
What was a poor lad to do?...

    G                 C             G                    D            G
I asked for her hand not her Dad's plan and that's why I sit on this stool. 
(Chorus)
           G                           C            G

(Verse) (Slower, single strum)
     G                        C         G
She wrote me a letter, then knitted a sweater,

     G                  D
The note it read "Good luck"...
(Faster, regular strum)
       G                    C          G 
But a tear in my beer, the ink it did smear

                     D         G
And that's why I'm better off drunk.
(Chorus)
           G                           C            G
When you close up the bar, would you please lock me in,

      G                     D
I'd rather be here then go home...

 G                    C         G             G       D          G
Got me no wife and I had me no kids so I'd rather be here than alone.
