This song is played on the piano but I thought I would do an acoustic version 
cause its a great song. Any corrections would be welcome thanks :D

C#m (X 4 6 6 5 4)
F# (244322@1)(2 4 4 3 2 2)
A (x02220@1) (5 7 7 6 5 5)
Ab (xx1114@1)(4 6 6 5 4 4)

I find that it sounds best if you finger pic it.

Intro: C#m, F#, A, Ab
       C#m, F#, A,Ab,C#m
              
            C#m (x13321@4)       F# (244322@1)          A (x02220@1)          Ab (xx1114@1)      
Let's put a new coat of paint on this lonesome old town

We'll laugh at that old bloodshot moon in that burgundy sky

Bridge: C#m, F#, A, Ab x3
        C#m, F#, A,Ab,C#m

It repeats like this for the rest of the song

All your scribbled lovedreams, are lost or thrown away,
Here amidst the shuffle of an overflowing day
Our love needs a transfusion so let's shoot it full of wine
Fishin' for a good time starts with throwin'in your line.

Bridge: C#m, F#, A, Ab x3
        C#m, F#, A,Ab,C#m

Let's put a new coat of paint on this lonesome old town
Set 'em up, we'll be knockin' em down.
You wear a dress, baby, and I'll wear a tie.
We'll laugh at that old bloodshot moon in that burgundy sky

Bridge: C#m, F#, A, Ab x3
        C#m, F#, A,Ab,C#m

Outro: C#m, F#, A, Ab
