Tyler Childers – Tomcat And A Dandy (Guitar)

C               C7                    F               C
Back when I was young and gay, in the fledglin' of my prime

F                 C                   G
Back then, when I blew through all my time

    C             C7                  F          C
You met me like a gurglin' spring and I a stream nearby

F           C   G       C
Hardly even noticin' it passin'

    C                 C7                F                  C
I'd court the fairest far and wide, I'd walk the hills and ridges

  F                 C              G
I met them in their parlor rooms a-fancy

    C                C7                      F                 C
I'd drink and sworp, sworp and spark through all the towns I'd ride

    F            C      G     C
And went about a tomcat and a dandy

     C               C7                    F              C
From Catlettsburg to Bluefield, boys, I've seen and had a time

  F               C                 G
I gave my all and took my pleasures Randy

C           C7                  F                      C
Toe to toe, cheek to cheek, and waltz on a switchblade knife

  F            C      G     C
I went about a tomcat and a dandy

         C                    C7              F                      C
When the curtain falls on the part I play too soon for thе ones that know'd me

        F                 C              G
Raise a toast and toss mе roses from the balcony

        C                             C7          F                C
Let the thorn and flower and the warm applause be right and proper eulogy

      F                   C       G       C
Not a dry eye 'mongst the tomcats and the dandies
