Empty As A Drum Chords

Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

 Well Ctwo old red-nosed whiskey drunks were talkin politics

 It was E7time to hit the bricks, it was Ftime for me to go

 And CI was right there on the verge of pullin' out my hair

 Actin as E7though I could not care less and Fhopin' she would show

Well my bags are packed and ready, I was feelin' like a wreck

Some clothes and personal effects, I left everything I own

And the last I laid eyes on her, we were in a hotel hall

Holdin hands like paper dolls, aw but here I sit alone

Chorus

 Well I'm gonna Cgive it one more Gminute, give me Fone more round of rum

 Well I'm as Gempty as a drum, I'm as Fempty as a drum

CCould you spare a cGigarette, IF hate to be a bum

G F

 But here's to hopin' she'lCl still come, I'm too old to be this dumb, well I'm too old to

be this dumb

Well I tell you that bartender, she's a site to see

Aw you'd be envious of me, least you would if she was here

And the kid there in the corner has been spoilin' for a fight

And it feels like that of night, aw buddy instead pour me a beer

Chorus

When you darkened up the doorway, I stood up from the bar

Well I said hey now here you are, damn it darlin how are you and you kissed me

Said I can't say that I'm great oh lord I hate it that I am late

Oh what a mess we got into
