C5 
Well I think it finally happened 
    F5                 C5 
I'm tired of running 'round 
  C5 
I thank you for waitin' on me 
            G5 
While I was paintin' up the town 
    C5 
For years and years you stood by me 
      F5           C5 
While I ruined my life 
    C5 
I'm tired of all these honky tonks 
         G5            C5 
And that fly by night life 

***CHORUS: 
    F5 
Old Ira's tendin' bar right now 
         C5 
Probably wonderin' where I am 
C5                                 G5 
Ziggy's sharkin' pool, for five a throw 
        C5 
And Old Lucy Fay Lorraine's 
       F5                C5 
Takin' side bets on the game 
                      G5                  C5 
And old Pop Fox keeps sayin' he's got to go 

********** 
        C5  
Tonight a bottle stands alone 
   F5                    C5 
At the Dear John Letter Lounge 
  C5 
Waitin' on me for company, 
            G5 
But I won't be around 
     C5 
Find someone else to take my place 
      F5           C5 
While I rejoin my wife 
       C5 
'Cause I'm tired of all these Honky Tonks 
         G5            C5 
And that fly by night life 

***CHORUS*** 
    C5 
I'm gonna miss old Jim and all my friends 
   F5                    C5 
At the Dear John Lounge downtown 
    C5 
I'm gonna miss ole Willie on the Jukebox 
            G5 
Playin' songs round after round 
    C5 
I'm gonna miss the face of strangers 
       F5          C5 
And the steady passers by 
      C5 
Gonna miss the Dear John Letter Lounge 
         G5            C5 
And that fly by night life
