(F) Come on in, sit yourself down and kick your (C)shoes off, my friend,
(F)Put your feet up, there's wine in the cup. It's good to (C)see you again.
I (G)haven't seen your smile for quite a (C)while, so just unwind,
Re(F)lax your mind, (G) and let the time go (C)by.
(F)        (C)        (G)        (C)

(F)Let me see now, I ain't seen you since while down in (C)Coconut Grove,
Ex(F)cept for the time we pick-played one night, but that was (C)really no joke,
'Cause (G)I got too drunk, but hell, I always played that (C)way,
So ain't nothing changed, it's (F)still the same, (G)s o let the time go (C)by.

(F)How is your lady, she still just as crazy? What the (C)hell was her name? Oh yea.
Re(F)member the night we all got so tight we never (C)did catch her plane?
(G)Played guitar all night in that termi(C)nal, we had a ball,
We (F)played them all, (G) we let the time go (C)by.

You (F)still live upstairs? Your cats are all there with a (C)dozen guitars?
They (F)say we all changed, but I feel the same and I (C)know that you are.
They (G)always said we played 'em much too long, but (C)what's a song?
It (F)carries on (G) and makes the time go (C)by.
(F)        (C)        (G)        (C)

Now I (F)live in the west, Texas, I guess old (C)Austin's the best.
I’m (F)building a house, it's a mile to the south, the old (C)bird's gonna nest.
The (G)radio will play our songs some(C)times and make me smile,
E(F)rase the miles, (G) and make the time go (C)by.
(F)        (C)        (G)        (C)        

(C)Yes, it's a long old road we (F)ride down, my (F7)friend,
(C)Yes, it's a long old road we (G)ride,
(C) But I know we’ll make it through, we’ll (F)make it to the end,(F7)
(C) Yes, friend, we'll (G)make it, you and I. (C)
