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
While I [G]pulled hard on the sorrow and smoke
[D]Raising up my bottle I looked for a chance
As you [G]set your glass down on the bar with a glance at
me
[A]Down at the [G]Horseshoe [D]Lounge
[A]Shuffleboard and [G]neon [D]light
[A]Down at the [G]Horseshoe [D]Lounge
[A]Cigarettes and [G]whiskey to[D]night
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]Were you the one who [D]faltered
Was [A]I the one who [D]strayed
Maybe [G]God left us [D]out of the plans he [A]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
