Horseshoe Lounge(Chords)

	        I think he plays this in F, so capo on three and play 
these chords.  If you want to play in F then it's F, 
Bb and C substituted for the chords below. 
 
 
D 
Ricky got the quarters for the table and broke 
        G 
While I pulled hard on the sorrow and smoke 
D 
Raising up my bottle I looked for a chance 
       G 
As you set your glass down on the bar with a glance at 
me 
A           G         D 
Down at the Horseshoe Lounge 
A                G    D 
Shuffleboard and neon light 
A           G         D 
Down at the Horseshoe Lounge 
A              G         D 
Cigarettes and whiskey tonight 
 
Ricky said 'She's out of your league, let her go' 
As I watched you pick your partner on that old dance 
floor 
I know it didn't work out the first time we tried 
But I'd do anything to have you by my side again. 
Down at the Horseshoe Lounge 
Peel the label off a miller light 
Down at the Horseshoe Lounge 
I sit here thinking 'bout you every night. 
 
G                    D 
Were you the one who faltered 
    A             D 
Was I the one who strayed 
      G           D                   A 
Maybe God left us out of the plans he made 
 
So here's to missed beginnings and things that never 
start 
For these are the ghosts that run around in my heart 
When I see that where I'm going isn't where I want to 
be 
I get the urge to look you up see if you would come 
and meet me 
Down at the Horseshoe Lounge 
Hey Buddy have you got a light 
Down at the Horseshoe Lounge 
One more and I'll be alright 
 
Down at the Horseshoe Lounge 
Peel the label off a Miller Light 
Down at the Horseshoe Lounge 
I sit here thinkin' 'bout you every night. 
 
Ricky got the quarters for the table and broke 
While I pulled hard on the sorrow and smoke
