This is my first attempt at making one of these. Any constructive critisicm is welcome. I like this song and
think I figured it out by ear. Let me know what you think. You'll have to listen for yourself to figure out
what you want to do with strumming. R
 
[Intro]
D
 
 
[Verse 1]
            E     D
Everybody's goin' away
                               G
Said they're gone this time to stay
                           A
There's not a soul I know around
                    D
Everybody's leavin' town
 
[Verse 2]
                                     D
Some caught a freight, some caught a plane
                             G
Find the sunshine, leave the rain
                                 A
They said this town's a waste of time
                                    D
I guess they're right, it's wastin' mine
 
 
[Chorus]
                           G      A
Some gotta win, some gotta lose
                            D     A
Good time Charlie's got the blues
                            D     A
Good time Charlie's got the blues
 
[Bridge]
 
D G A D
 
[Verse 3]
                               D
Ya know my heart keeps tellin' me
                            G
"You're not a kid at thirty-three"
                              A
"Ya play around, ya lose your wife"
                                 D
"Ya play too long, you lose your life"
 
[Verse 4]
                               D
I walk the streets to ease the pain
                             G
Won't do a thing to ease the rain
                         A    hold
I'd love to try and settle down
                        D
But everybody's leavin' town
 
 
[Chorus]
                           G      A
Some gotta win, some gotta lose
                            D     A
Good time Charlie's got the blues
                            D     A
Good time Charlie's got the blues
                            D     A
Good time Charlie's got the blues

Toss an A7 in after the A in the verses for some sweet spice
