Here Comes A Regular (acoustic)

Capo: 6th fret 


Intro:  
C9 G F9 

Verse: 
       C9         G         F9 
Well a person can work up a mean mean thirst 
        C9          G               F9      
After a hard day of nothin' much at all 
C9                    G           F9        
Summer's passed, it's too late to cut the grass 
      C9                 G             F9   
There ain't much to rake anyway in the fall 

Verse: 
    C9        G            F9 
And sometimes I just ain't in the mood 
   C9               G                 F9 
To take my place in back with the loudmouths 
              C9             G                   F9  
You're like a picture on the fridge that's never stocked with food 
C9                    G                 F9 
Used to live at home, now I stay at the house 

Pre-Chorus 
    G                     F9 
And everybody wants to be special here 
G 
 They call your name out loud and clear 

C9   Em      F9 
Here comes a regular 
C9   Em       F9 
Call out your name 
C9   Em      F9 
Here comes a regular 
         G               F9 
Am I the only one here today? 

Verse: 
       C9                    G         F9 
Well a drinkin' buddy that's bound to another town 
C9              G            F9 
Once the police made you go away 
    C9                    G                 F9 
And even if you're in the arms of someone's  baby now 
            C9                G        F9 
I'll take a great big whiskey to ya anyway 

Pre-Chorus 
G                     F9 
Everybody wants to be someone's here 
G 
Someone's gonna show up, never fear 

Chorus: 
       C9   Em      F9 
'Cause here comes a regular 
C9   Em     F9 
Call out my name 
C9   Em      F9 
Here comes a regular 
         G                    F9 
Am I the only one who feels ashamed? 

Break: 
C9 G F9  x2 

Verse: 
C9            G        F9 
Kneeling alongside old Sad eyes 
        C9                 G                         F9 
He says opportunity knocks once then the door slams shut 
      C9                       G             F9 
All I know is I'm sick of everything that my money can buy 
    C9                  G                  F9 
The fool who wastes his life, God rest his guts 

Verse: 
C9                           G                   F9 
  First the lights, then the collar goes up, the wind begins to blow 
C9                   G             F9 
  Turn your back on a pay-you-back, last call 
C9               G                          F9 
  First the glass, then the leaves that pass, then comes the snow 
C9                   G             F9 
  Ain't much to rake anyway in the fall  

Ending: 
C9 Em F9  x2
