Some Day I’ll Get Out Of These Bars     Keith Sykes & Richard Gardner

(F)    (F/E)(Dm7)(C)        (G)        (C)      
Well, I walked into a (F)rundown bar,
The (G)sign said a one man (C)band.
He was sittin' on top of a (F)bar stool,
A (G)guitar held in his (C)hand,
And the (F)lines he was singing brought (Em)memories ringin',
I (Dm)heard this old (G)broken-down (C)star
Sing bad (F)women and whiskey, you (Em)know they will (Am)get you,
Some (Dm)day I'll get (G)out of these (C)bars.

Well, I sat there drinking, day(F)dreaming and thinking
Of a (G)time not too long a(C)go,
With iron bars all around me, (F)grey walls that bound me,
The (G)years that went by too (C)slow,
And a (F)prayer that I whispered to the (Em)blue sky above me,
(Dm)Walking that (G)big prison (C)yard,
Was bad (F)women and whiskey, you (Em)know they will (Am)get you,
Some (Dm)day I'll get (G)out of these (C)bars.

Some (F)day I'll get out, some (Em)day I'll get out,
Won't (Dm)fight no more (G)honky tonk (C)wars.
Some (F)day I'll get out, some (Em)day I'll get out,
Some (Dm)day I'll get (G)out of these (C)bars.  (F)        (G)        (C)        

Well, I paid for my drink, (F)walked over to where
He was (G)singing his lonesome (C)song.
I said, ''We're a lot alike, guitar (F)man, you and I,
But your (G)sentence is way too (C)long.
"Some (F)day I'll get out" he be(Em)gan to shout,
As I (Dm)walked toward that (G)open bar (C)door.
He said, ''Well, (F)I'll find a song, and it (Em)won't take too(Am)(hold) long
Un(Dm)til I get (G)out of these (C)bars.''

Some (F)day I'll get out, some (Em)day I'll get out,
Won't (Dm)fight no more (G)honky tonk (C)wars.
Yeah, some (F)day I'll get out, some (Em)day I'll get out,
Some (Dm)day I'll get (G)out of these (C)bars.  (F)        (G)        (C)        
Some (F)day I'll get out, some (Em)day I'll get out,
Won't (Dm)fight no more (G)honky tonk (C)wars,
Yeah well, (F)I'll find a song, and it (Em)won't take too(Am)(hold) long
Un(Dm)til I get (G)out of these (C)bars.'
