Ev ’ry bod y’s gone a way,

(C6)A.
There’s not a soul I know a (D7)round,
(CN.C.)ev ’ry bod y’s leav in’ (G)town.
Some caught a freight, some caught a plane;
find the sun shine, leave the (C6)rain.
They said this town ’ll waste your (D7)time.
I guess they’re right, it’s wast in’ (G)mine.
Some got ta win, some got ta (Cmaj7)lose,

Y’ know my heart keeps tell in’ me
you’re not a kid at thir ty (C6)three.
Y’ play a round, y’ lose your (D7)wife;
y’ play too long, you lose your (G)life.
I got my pills t’ ease the pain,
can’t find a thing t’ ease the (C)rain.
I’d love t’ try and set tle (D7)down,
but ev ’ry bod y’s leav in’ (G)town.
Some got ta win, some got ta (Cmaj7)lose,
good time Char lie’s got the (G)blues,
good time Char lie’s got the (G)blues,
good time Char lie’s got the (G)blues.
