Verse 1
Well the [E]sun is sinkin’ and [A]people start thinkin’ at [E]twilight
Tell me [E]what can I do till a [A]quarter of two to [B]feel alright
Well, [E]somebody’s always [A][E]playin’..down at the [A]Hoorah Range
And a [E]whole lotta women a [B]dancin’ and drinkin’, just a [E]swingin’
I’ll be [B]there ... ’till the bars burn down
I gotta a [E]chair.. ‘till the bars burn down
I’m gonna [B]stare ... ’till the bars burn down
I’ll be there until the [B][C#]bars [D][D#]burn [E]down
Ah, it’s [E]ten after five and I see [A]ten other guys with the [E]same thought
Well they’d [E]love to go out but [A]they’ll probably go home ‘cause they’d [E]get
caught
Later [B]on you see ‘em [E]tip toin’ up the stairway carryin’ a woman in [A]shoes
On their way to wastin’ a lot of good conversation and booze
I’ll be [B]there ... ‘till the bars burn down
I gotta a [E]chair..till the bars burn down
I’m gonna [B]stare ... ‘till the bars burn down
I’ll be there [E]until the bars burn down
Tell me why if [A]women get lonely [D]just like men, [A]how come you never can [E]find
them then?
[A]How come you gotta go [D]down there again and [E]again
I’ll be there until the [B]bars burn down
‘Til the [E]bars burn down
until the [B]bars burn down
I’ll be there until the bars burn [E]down
I gotta [E]find me a honey if it [A]costs me all my money and [E]then some
I come down here too much to go [A]home without having some [B]real fun
Well you can even [E]leave it all [G#]tomorrow and [A]still not be in [C]love
You got a [E]family man and there [B]ain’t no place like [E]home
I’m going home
