C
Well I think it finally happened
FC
I'm tired of running 'round
C
I thank you for waitin' on me
G
While I was paintin' up the town
C
For years and years you stood by me
FC
While I ruined my life
C
I'm tired of all these honky tonks
GC
And that fly by night life
***Chorus:
F
Old Ira's tendin' bar right now
C
Probably wonderin' where I am
CG
Ziggy's sharkin' pool, for five a throw
C
And Old Lucy Fay Lorraine's
FC
Takin' side bets on the game
GC
And old Pop Fox keeps sayin' he's got to go
C
Tonight a bottle stands alone
FC
At the Dear John Letter Lounge
C
Waitin' on me for company,
G
But I won't be around
C
Find someone else to take my place
FC
While I rejoin my wife
C
'Cause I'm tired of all these Honky Tonks
GC
And that fly by night life
Chorus:
C
I'm gonna miss old Jim and all my friends
FC
At the Dear John Lounge downtown
C
I'm gonna miss ole Willie on the Jukebox
G
Playin' songs round after round
C
I'm gonna miss the face of strangers
FC
And the steady passers by
C
Gonna miss the Dear John Letter Lounge
GC
And that fly by night life
