#1.
F5 C5
I play guitar in a little bar, down the street
from here.
C5
They pay me to come and to hum and to strum for
F5
the folks to hear.
F5
But I think it's unfair, when I'm sitting up there
Bb5
and my baby walks in.
F5 C5
And I have to play like a friend..oh, for her and him.
#2.
F5 C5
Oh, how it hurts to see her flirt with someone else.
C5 F5
And oh, how it aches to see her make a fool of herself.
F5 Bb5
I swear I'd leave if I didn't need the dough, my friend.
F5 C5
It's nothing but a sin..to have to play and pretend..
F5 C5 F5 C5
for her and him.
#3.
F5 C5
The boss man say I gotta play from nine till three.
C5 F5
They come in each night at ten, for a while, then leave.
F5 F5
That's when I play with soul and the customers know that
Bb5
I'm dyin' within.
F5 C5
Cause I know where they've been..and where they're goin'
F5
again..just her and him.
OUTRO:
F5 Bb5 Bbm..........
(Her and him..her and him..her and him..)
F5 C5
I know where they've been..and where they're goin'
F5
again..just her and him..(Fade.)
