[Verse]
F          Em       C          F        Em       C
Worked the bars and sideshows along the twilight zone
        G
Only a crowd can make you feel so alone
 
And it really hit home
F         Em        C                F           Em  C
Booze and pills and powders, you can choose your medicine
G                                              D
  Well, here's another goodbye to another good friend
 
[Chorus]
G               Em       D
So after all is said and done
G                Em         D
Gotta move while it's still fun
G              Em      G    C    D  G
Oh, let me walk before they make me run
 
G            Em       D
After all is said and done
G             Em         D
I gotta move, it's still fun
G             Em      G    C    D  G
I'm gonna walk before they make me run
 
[Verse]
F          Em         C                     F       Em     C
Watched my taillights fading, there ain't a dry eye in the house
                     G
They're laughing and singing
 
Started dancing and drinking as I left town
      F       Em     C                F      Em      C
Gonna find my way to heaven, 'cause I did my time in hell, oh yeah
G                                                  D
  I wasn't looking too good but I was feeling real well
 
[Chorus]
G            Em       D
After all is said and done
G               Em     D
I gotta move, I had my fun
G             Em      G    C    D  G
So let us walk before they make us run

G               Em       D

I did alright and had my fun
G          Em      G    C    D
I will walk before they make me
G          Em      G    C    D
I will walk before they make me (run)

The EM in the verses is a G. I've played it along with the record and they are playing a G. Right when I started playing this tab my ear could tell the EM was wrong.
