Closing Time Blues

 

Closing Time Blues

 

G                                  D

It's getting late in the evening.

                                       G

Last call for liquor and wine.

                                          D

Looks like it's time to be leaving.

                                      G

Must be about closing time.

 

Chorus:

         C                                    G

Then lock up the doors and sweep up the floor.

                                                  D

Looks like the good times are through.

            C                             G        Em

But the jukebox keeps on playing.

D                                                 G

[Those] mean old closing time blues.

 

G                                                D

Some folks got nothing to go home to.

                                            G

Four walls and nothing to say.

                                                  D

They sit all night on their bar stool.

                                                  G

Just drinking their paychecks away.

 

Chorus

 

G                        D

Neon signs fall silent

                                  G

Rattle of glasses is gone

                                          D

Waitress counts out her tip jar.

                                       G

And quietly sings right along.

 

Chorus.
