D                        A 
I was pourin' coffee for table number one 
  Bm                A        G 
I couldn't help but hear him what was going on 
D                          A 
It got my attention when I heard a young man's voice 
       Bm              A                G 
Saying sheriff I'll be going now if its alright with you boys 
      A                             Bm 
Those years I spent in prison stole to much time from me 
        G             D/F#   Em            A 
I won't waste another minute if I'm really free 
 
--Chorus-- 
          G                                     D

I'm amazed that they still love me 
        Bm              A                 G      A 
They forgive me for the bitter seeds I've sown 
Bm                A            G 
Heaven knows I've been away to long 
   A             D       G     A

A burger and a special for table number eight

I was bustin' number seven when I heard her young heart break 
D                                  A 
He told her it was over they could never meet again 
        Bm               A               G 
That he found a taste of courage twisted on his wedding band 
    A                            Bm 
Her tears began to fall but they could not touch his heart 
  G                  D/F#             Em                 A 
I heard him say "I'm sorry But it was all wrong from the start"

       A                             Bm               A 
It's a never ending saga and they're played out every day 
    D                           A 
But this one's finally over the foods all put away 
        Bm                A            G
