[Cm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Cm] _
Why hello, say, can I buy you [G] _
another glass of beer?
_ _ [Cm]
Well thanks a lot, _ that's kind of you, _ [G] _
it's nice to know you care
_ [Ab]
These _ [G] days there's so much [Cm] going _ on
[Eb] _ No _ [Ab] _
_ _ [G] one seems to [Cm] want to _ know
[Eb] I _ _ [Ab] _
may [G] be just an [Cm] old _ soldier [F] to some
But _ _ [Ab] I know how it _ feels to [G] glow _ _
Yeah _ [Cm] _ _ that's right, _ you can see [G] me here most every night
_ _ [Cm] You always see me staring _ [G] at the walls and at the lights
[Ab] Funny, _ _ [G] I remember, [Cm] oh, it's years ago I'd say _
_ I'd _ _ stand [G] at that bar with [Cm] my friends who'd passed away
_ [Ab] And _ drink three [G]
times the beer [Cm] that I can drink [F]
today
_ _ Yes [Ab] I know how it _ feels to [G] glow
_ _ I _ _ _ [Cm] _
know what they're saying, son, _ [Eb]
that goes on [Bb] my jaw [Eb] again
[F] _
Well I may be mad at that, I've seen enough [Ab] to make a man go out his brains
[Cm] Well they know what it's like to have a [G] graveyard as a friend
[Cm] Cause that's [F] where they are, boy, _ [Cm] all [F] of them
_ [Ab] Don't seem likely _ I'll get friends like [G] that again, yeah
_ _ _ [Cm] _ Well it's time, I moved off, but it's [G] been great just listening to you
_ And _ [Cm] _ I might even see you next [G] time I'm passing through
_ You're [Ab] _ right, [G] there's so much [Cm] going on _
_ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ No [G] one seems to want [Cm] to know _
_ _ _ [Ab] _ So keep [G] well, keep well old friend, and [Cm] have another drink on [F]
me
_ _ _ _ [Ab] Just ignore _ all the _ others
[G]
You got your _ _ _ [Cm]
memories _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ You got your [Ab] memories
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ [Cm] _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
