Bb Ab
[Verse 1]
EbI lit a candle for the lost and lonely
Ab EbAnd I stepped out into the night
EbWhen I heard a voice call out my name
BbFrom under the streetlamp light
EbI knew him from my bar room days
Ab EbThose were rough and rowdy times
Bb AbJust two old men talkin' 'bout a life long left behind
[Pre-Chorus]
Ab BbHe said, "I know that I ain’t ever goin' back to that old life
Ab BbBut I'll admit I sometimes think about those wild, wild nights"
[Chorus]
EbI could never pass up defendin'
Ab EbThe honor of a workin' girl
EbFrom some tanked-up low-life poser
BbTrying ta take her for a twirl
EbOr schoolin' some low-down rounder
Ab EbFor dealin' that bottom card
Bb AbIf you mеssed with me, boys, you'd Go down hard
[Post-Chorus]
AbOh, the hеadaches and the handcuffs
BbI'm glad to leave behind
Ab BbAnd these days, I remember where I was last night
Eb Ab BbBut sometimes, I still think that I could win
AbOne last bar fight
[Instrumental Break]
Eb Ab Eb Cm7 Eb Ab
[Verse 2]
EbThen I saw the old man smilin'
Ab EbI saw the laughter 'round his eyes
EbAll them stories of my glory days
BbHe said, "Those are mostly lies"
EbAnd when it came to throwin' hands
Ab EbHow that whiskey made me dance
Eb Bb AbBut I never had any more than a puncher's chance
[Pre-Chorus]
Ab Bb7He said, "I know that I ain’t ever goin' back to that old life
Ab BbBut I'll admit I sometimes think about those wild, wild nights"
[Chorus]
EbI could never pass up defendin'
Ab EbThe honor of a workin' girl
EbFrom some tanked-up low-life poser
BbTrying ta take her for a twirl
EbOr schoolin' some low-down rounder
Ab EbFor dealin' that bottom card
Bb AbIf you mеssed with me, boys, you'd Go down hard
[Post-Chorus]
AbOh, the hеadaches and the handcuffs
BbI'm glad to leave behind
Ab BbAnd these days, I remember what I did last night
Eb Ab BbAnd sometimes, I still think that I could win
AbWith a crooked nose and a battered jaw
BbAnd a shoulder that never healed right
Ab BbMaybe in the end, I guess it's best
Bm EbI've had my last bar fight
[Outro]
