[Intro]
C G C G
[Verse 1]
C G The door was open I was seething C F Your mother burst in it was freezing C G C She said it looks like it’s trying to rain C G I was lost I felt sea sick C F You convinced me that he’d left C G C You said keep talking but don’t you use names F I scolded your driver and your brother C We are old enough to know how long you’ve been hooked F And we’ve all been through the war, and each time you score C G Someone gets hauled and handcuffed and booked
[Verse 2]
C G It felt like four in the morning C F What sounded like fire works C G C Turned out to be just what it was C G The stars looked like diamonds C F Then came the sirens C G C And everyone started to cuss F All the noise was disturbing, and I couldn’t find Irving C It was like two stations on at the same time F And then I hid your car keys, and I made black coffee C G And I dumped out the rest of the rum - mh-h-hm
[verse 3]
C G Nick and Socorro broke up C F And Candice wouldn’t shut up C G C Fin he recorded the whole thing C G Ray he said damn you C F And someone broke my camera C G C And it was New Years, and we all started to sing
[Chorus]
F C G C F Should auld acquaintance be forgot and never brought to mind F C G Am F C Should auld acquaintance be forgot for the sake of auld lang syne
[Verse]
F I was leaving in the morning with Charles for Las Vegas C And I didn’t plan to come back F I had only a few things, two hundred dollars C G And my records in a brown paper sack C G I ran out on Sheila C F Everything’s in storage C G C Calvin’s right I should go back to driving truck
[Chorus]
F C G C F Should auld acquaintance be forgot and never brought to mind F C G Am F C Should auld acquaintance be forgot for the sake of auld lang syne
