Barlight
By Charlie Robison
Tabbed by Rusty Oesch


Capo 2


     G
Well when I was young my momma read me
C
Nursery rhymes beside my bed
    G
And though they sounded mighty fine
     D
They made no sense to me
    G
But now that I am all grown up
   C
It seems my life has changed as such
   G
So I went out and made me up
  D                 G
A nursery rhyme for me


Chorus:
        G
It goes bar light, bar bright
C
First bar that I see tonight
  G
I wish I may I wish I might
D
Find someone to hold me tight
G
Hey diddle diddle, a man with a fiddle
        C
And the girls sing along with the tunes
     G
Just one more dance til you turn out the lights
        D              G
And you shut down this saloon


Well I never understood how a big old gal
Could raise no kids in a shoe
And any old Jack goes jumping in a candle
Needs to find something better to do
And rub a dub dub, three men in a tub
Sure sounds kind of funny to me
So I made up a honky tonk nursery rhyme
and it's the only one I'll sing

Chorus
