Capo II Fret

([C]) They're closin' down the ([Dm7]) hangout 
([C/E]) The air is turnin' ([F]) cool 
([Am]) They're shuttin' off the ([Dm7]) "superslide" 
The ([F]) kids are back in ([G]) school 
([C]) The tourist traps are ([Dm7]) empty 
([C/E]) Vacancy a([F])bounds 
([Am]) Almost like it ([Dm7]) used to be 
Before the ([F]) circus came to ([G]) town 

([Am]) That's when it always ([Dm7]) happens 
The ([Am]) same time every ([F]) year 
([C]) I come ([C/B]) down to ([Am]) talk to ([Dm7]) me ([F]) 
([G]) When the coast is ([C]) clear 

([C]) Hello mister ([Dm7]) other me 
([C/E])It's been a long ([F]) time 
([Am]) We hardly get to ([G]) have these chats 
([F]) That in itself's a ([G]) crime 
([C]) So tell me all your ([Dm7]) troubles 
I'll ([C/E]) surely tell you ([F]) mine 
We'll ([Am]) laugh and smoke and ([Dm7]) cuss and joke 
And ([F]) have a glass of ([G]) wine 

([Am]) That's when it always ([Dm7]) happens 
The ([Am]) same time every ([F]) year 
([C]) I come ([C/B]) down to ([Am]) talk to ([Dm7]) me ([F]) 
([G]) When the coast is ([C]) clear 

(INSTRUMENTAL) 

([Am]) Where it always ([Dm7]) happens 
The ([Am]) same time every ([F]) year 
([C]) I come ([C/B]) down to ([Am]) talk to ([Dm7]) me ([F]) 
([G]) When the coast is ([C]) clear
