Well I think it finally happened
    F                 C
I'm tired of running 'round
  C
I thank you for waitin' on me
            G
While I was paintin' up the town
    C
For years and years you stood by me
      F           C
While I ruined my life
    C
I'm tired of all these honky tonks
         G            C
And that fly by night life
***CHORUS:
    F
Old Ira's tendin' bar right now
         C
Probably wonderin' where I am
C                                 G
Ziggy's sharkin' pool, for five a throw
        C
And Old Lucy Fay Lorraine's
       F                C
Takin' side bets on the game
                      G                  C
And old Pop Fox keeps sayin' he's got to go
**********
        C 
Tonight a bottle stands alone
   F                    C
At the Dear John Letter Lounge
  C
Waitin' on me for company,
            G
But I won't be around
     C
Find someone else to take my place
      F           C
While I rejoin my wife
       C
'Cause I'm tired of all these Honky Tonks
         G            C
And that fly by night life
***CHORUS***
    C
I'm gonna miss old Jim and all my friends
   F                    C
At the Dear John Lounge downtown
    C
I'm gonna miss ole Willie on the Jukebox
            G
Playin' songs round after round
    C
I'm gonna miss the face of strangers
       F          C
And the steady passers by
      C
Gonna miss the Dear John Letter Lounge
         G            C
And that fly by night life
