Verse 1:

G B7 C G I met her one evenin' in a barroom downtown G A7 D7 She was the picture of truth G B7 Her shoulders were sagged C G and her head was bowed down A7 D7 Like me she was livin' the blues

Verse 2:

G B7 C G When the music had ended and the crowd dwindled down G A7 D7 And we were the last lonely two G B7 C G We left with each other when nothing was left A7 D7 And nothing left better to do
G B7 C G And it was fun while it lasted but it didn't last long G A7 D7 Before we knew it, the thrill was all gone G B7 C G And we both wound up singin' the same lonesome song G D7 G It was fun while it lasted, but it didn't last long
Instrumental G B7 C G G D7 G G

Verse 3:

G B7 C G I had a woman and she had a man G A7 D7 Before we both lost it all G B7 C G When I thought of her that's when she thought of him A7 D7 And I never could stand that thought
G B7 C G It was fun while it lasted but it didn't last long G A7 D7 Before the mornin' I'd packed up and gone G B7 C G And we said goodbye singin' the same worn out song G D7 G It was fun while it lasted, but it didn't last long
Instrumental G B7 C G G D7 G G
