TILL THE BARS BURN DOWN
JD Souther

          E                  A                        E
Well the sun is sinkin’ and people start thinkin’ at twilight
         E                    A                 B
Tell me what can I do till a quarter of two to feel alright
       E                 A        E           A
Well, somebody’s always playin’..down at the Hoorah Range
       E                   B                            E
And a whole lotta women a dancin’ and drinkin’, just a swingin’

         B
I’ll be there ... ’till the bars burn down
           E
I gotta a chair.. ‘till the bars burn down
           B
I’m gonna stare ... ’till the bars burn down
                         B C# D Eb E
I’ll be there until the bars burn down

          E                        A                       E
Ah, it’s ten after five and I see ten other guys with the same thought
             E                  A                                      E     
Well they’d love to go out but they’ll probably go home ‘cause they’d get caught
       B              E                                             A
Later on you see ‘em tip toin’ up the stairway carryin’ a woman in shoes

On their way to wastin’ a lot of good conversation and booze

         B
I’ll be there ... ‘till the bars burn down
           E
I gotta a chair..till the bars burn down
           B
I’m gonna stare ... ‘till the bars burn down
               E
I’ll be there until the bars burn down

                A                D              A                      E
Tell me why if women get lonely just like men, how come you never can find them then?
 A                     D                    E
How come you gotta go down there again and again

 
                         B
I’ll be there until the bars burn down
          E
‘Til the bars burn down
           B
until the bars burn down
                                   E
I’ll be there until the bars burn down

         E                     A                         E
I gotta find me a honey if it costs me all my money and then some
                                 A                        B
I come down here too much to go home without having some real fun
                   E              Ab         A               C
Well you can even leave it all tomorrow and still not be in love
           E                    B                   E
You got a family man and there ain’t no place like home


I’m going home
