        D            G           D  
You can find me in a dim lighted barroom
        D                      A
If your coals should ever turn warm
        D          G        D
But the chances of you ever changing
       D            A          D
Are as slim as your two loving arms


Chorus:
   D           C   G     D  
So I’m turnin’ o-o-ff a mem’ry
   D          E7          A 
As quickly as time will allow
D           C   G    D 
I’m turnin’ o-o-ff a mem’ry
        D             A           D
And the wine seems to help me somehow


So if I’m lucky I’ll someday forget you
When the wine fin’lly takes full control
It’s not much of a future to look to
But I can’t stand this pain in my soul


Chorus
   D#          C#  #G    D#
So I’m turnin’ o-o-ff  a mem’ry
   D#         F7          A# 
As quickly as time will allow
D#          C#  #G    D#
I’m turnin’ o-o-ff  a mem’ry
        D             A           D
And the wine seems to help me somehow
