VERSE 1:
J[A]ust around the c[B7]orner there's h[E]eartache--[E]
D[A]own the street that l[B7]osers [E]use--[E]

BREAK:
Oh, but the pl[A]ace is f[A]illed with the sweetest m[E]em'ries--[E]
M[B7]em'ries so sw[B7]eet that I c[E]ry--[E]

[F#7]I just want to [F#7]give up and [F#7]lay down and d[B7]ie--[B7]

S[A]o if you've j[B7]ust lost your sw[E]eetheart,[E]
And it s[A]eems there's no g[B7]ood way to ch[E]oose--[E]

You're w[A]elcome at the H[B7]ome of the Bl[E]ues--[E]
LEAD TACIT--
