The Beer, The Band, And The Barstool

[Intro] E  A7M  E  A

[Primeira Parte]

         E
He walks in
A                          E
Orders up a round, how you been?
       B4    B
My old friend
               E
The band kicks off
    A                                     E
The same old dance, the same old worn-out songs
             B4    B
But he sings along

[Pré-Refrão]

     A                E/G#              F#m7
He's gonna stay here 'til they make him leave
       A                E/G#               F#m7             B
'Cause he's got all the friends a guy like him could ever need

[Refrão]

A                               E                    E4  E
One'll hang around and tell him what he wants to hear
A                               E                 B
One'll help by drownin' out the how'd you wind up here
E               B/D#    C#m              A
One'll hold him up when love has let him down
            E                   B              A
They do the best they can for a broken-hearted fool
    C#m       B            E        A
The beer, the band and the barstool

[Segunda Parte]

       E
Corner booth
  A                                   E
A blonde with lonely eyes, a shade of blue
             B
Hey, how are you?
A    E
Just by chance
A                               E
Are you here alone? How 'bout a dance?
                 B
And she took his hand

[Pré-Refrão]

   A                     E/G#              F#m7
He hopes she'd stay, but always knew she'd leave
    A                E/G#               F#m7             B
But he's got all the friends a guy like him could ever need

[Refrão]

A                               E                    E4    E
One'll hang around and tell him what he wants to hear
A                               E                 B
One'll help by drownin' out the how'd you wind up here
E               B/D#    C#m              A
One'll hold him up when love has let him down
            E                   B              A
They do the best they can for a broken-hearted fool
    C#m       B            E
The beer, the band and the barstool

[Ponte]

       A                                E
Now he last call lights a cigarette and orders up one more
F#m7                                     B
Pays his tab, knows he'll be back 'cause he's been here before

[Refrão]

A                               E                    E4    E
One'll hang around and tell him what he wants to hear
A                               E                 B
One'll help by drownin' out the how'd you wind up here
E               B/D#    C#m              A
One'll hold him up when love has let him down
            E                   B              A
They do the best they can for a broken-hearted fool
        C#m/G#  B                A   E/G#
They go hand in hand with losing you
    F#m7      B            E        A
The beer, the band and the barstool

[Final]

        E        A
And the barstool
