  G           B7           C           G 
I met her one evenin' in a barroom downtown 
G           A7         D7 
She was the picture of truth 
    G              B7 
Her shoulders were sagged 
        C              G 
and her head was bowed down 
     A7                    D7 
Like me she was livin' the blues 



         G         B7            C              G 
When the music had ended and the crowd dwindled down 
    G           A7          D7 
And we were the last lonely two 
   G              B7         C           G 
We left with each other when nothing was left 
    A7                     D7 
And nothing left better to do 

 
           G            B7            C           G 
And it was fun while it lasted but it didn't last long 
G         A7                          D7 
Before we knew it, the thrill was all gone 
       G             B7          C             G 
And we both wound up singin' the same lonesome song 
       G                           D7          G 
It was fun while it lasted, but it didn't last long

G       B7        C         G 
I had a woman and she had a man 
G         A7           D7 
Before we both lost it all 
     G            B7              C              G 
When I thought of her that's when she thought of him 
    A7                       D7 
And I never could stand that thought 


 
       G            B7            C           G 
It was fun while it lasted but it didn't last long 
G          A7                        D7 
Before the mornin' I'd packed up and gone 
       G            B7          C             G 
And we said goodbye singin' the same worn out song 
       G                           D7          G 
It was fun while it lasted, but it didn't last long
