Capo 1st Fret (to match original recording)
Intro: (D) (D) (G) (G) (D) (D) (G) (G)
Her (D) mama always told her to hold out for a good man
(D) Sounded like a good plan all those years ago
A (Gmaj7) little house with a (G) picket fence
Simple life with a couple kids
But to(Bm)night she's just looking for a sh(A)oulder
She was (D) hoping for (G) pink champagne
But she'll (D) settle for well whiskey
Saw her(G)self in a long white gown
Not (D) downtown gettin' tipsy
And that (Bm) one-night stand walking through the door
Ain't the (G) marrying kind, yeah that's for sure
But she's gettin' (D) older (D/F#) (G)
And the bar's gettin' (D) lower
Her dreams are disappearing like smoke from his cigarette
She hasn't said "Yes," but she's thinking she might
The closer it gets to closing time
A lonely heart will take a pick-up line
Anything to get her through the night
She was (G/F#) hoping for (G) pink champagne
But she'll (D) settle for well whiskey
Saw her(G)self in a long white gown
Not (D) downtown gettin' tipsy
And that (Bm) drunk cowboy telling her lies
Ain't the (G) John Wayne, she had in mind
But she's gettin' (D) older (D/F#) (G)
And the bar's gettin' (D) lower
(Steel Guitar Solo) (G) (G) (D) (D) (G) (G) (D) (D)
She could (Bm) thank him for the drink and walk away
(G) Live to love another day
But (D) she's gettin' (D/F#) older (G)
And the night's gettin' (Bm) colder (A) (G)
And the bar's gettin' lower
(D) (D) (G) (G) The bar's gettin' lower (D) (D) (G) (G)
