[Verse 1]
When they threw me out
E
I heard the slammin' of familiar swingin' doors
B7
And as I stumbled 'cross that parkin' lot gravel
E B7
Heard 'em say don't come around anymore
E
I'll have to find a new place for my boozin'
A F#7
Those uptight highbrows don't know what they're losin'
E B7
My last cold one on them has been drank
E
[Chorus]
A
E
For all the good times I brought with me
B7
Even when my mind was a total blank
E
I was the life of the party
A
Before me, it was just a quiet place
E
A couple of guys cryin' along with Hank
B7
Now it's the happenin' place to be
And it's all because of me
E B7
The bar should say thanks
[Verse 2]
E A
Don't they remember each closin' time
E
Whose tab is always open?
B7
And who can they always count on
E B7
To hold the hand of a friend who's barely copin'?
E
Who's the queen of rehashing her hard knocks
A F#7
Who drops all her spare cash in the jukebox
E B7
When I could have been puttin' it in the bank
E
The bar should say thanks
[Chorus]
A
The bar should say thanks
E
For all the good times I brought with me
B7
Even when my mind was a total blank
E
I was the life of the party
A
Before me, it was just a quiet place
E
A couple of guys cryin' along with Hank
B7
Now it's the happenin' place to be
And it's all because of me
E
The bar should say thanks
[Bridge]
A Am E
Who'll they wake up each night when they turn on the lights?

Tell me, what do they think they're gonna do without me

Who'll leave the parkin' lot last when they're takin' out the trash?

I guess l'll be lost too to be totally frank
[Chorus]
