FCG
[Verse 1]
Am G C
Workin all day long,
F G C
saving my money for one,
Am G C
of those pretty guitars I’ve seen,
C G C
and a pair of new blue jeans,
Am G C
Copenhagen in my cheek,
F G C
finally finished this week,
Am G C
pouring concrete walls in the burning sun,
C G C
I’m ready to have some fun,
[Chorus]
F C G Am
Painting the town a new shade of red,
F C G
And singing these songs til the parties dead,
F C G Am
If you’re drinkin tonight you better sleep in your car,
F C G Am
When last calls heard from across the bar,
F C G
When last calls heard from across the bar
[Verse 2]
Am G C
We head on down to the bar,
F G C
she hops out of her car,
Am G C
with those long tan legs and her golden hair,
C G C
she’s got that devilish stare,
Am G C
She’s up to no good,
F G C
everyone knows that you should,
Am G C
stay clear from the path of a tornado,
C G C
the good lord only knows
[Chorus]
F C G Am
Painting the town a new shade of red,
F C G
And singing these songs til the parties dead,
F C G Am
If you’re drinkin tonight you better sleep in your car,
F C G Am
When last calls heard from across the bar,
F C G
When last calls heard from across the bar
[Verse 3]
Am G C
I see her singing my songs,
F G C
been playing all night long,
Am G C
when I’m done up here I’m gonna make my way,
C G C
and think of somethin smooth to say,
Am G C
I can feel my shakin knees,
F G C
so I took two shots of Jim Beam,
Am G C
with a number in her hand she passed it to me,
C G C
The rest was history,
[Chorus]
F C G Am
Painting the town a new shade of red,
F C G
And singing these songs til the parties dead,
F C G Am
If you’re drinkin tonight you better sleep in your car,
F C G Am
When last calls heard from across the bar,
F C G
When last calls heard from across the bar
