The Weakerthans – Psalm For The Elks Lodge Last Call (Guitar)

D       A
Let the waitress put the chairs up

G       A
Let the glasses that she broke

D      A
Form a picture of our leader

G      A
With a halo made of smoke

G       A                     F#m         G
Let the golden oldies station crackle and come through

G      A                 F#m        G
With a final benediction we'll hum along to

A                     D A G
Before we say goodnight

D       A
Let our talk about the ball game

G       A
And the weather show we care

D      A
Like a sound we didn't notice

G        A
Until it stopped and left us there

G        A                          F#m        G
With the traffic and our heartbeats beating in straight time

G       A                    F#m          G
Let our hatred and affection march in the same line

A                     D A G
Before we say goodnight

G      A                        F#m             G
Oh protect our secret handshake once more, with feeling

G       A                       F#m              G
Let the toast to absent members push through the ceiling

A                     D
Before we say goodnight
