I've been         drinking all through             summer
                                 F6/G 
I guess I've                         had a laugh
                       Bb                                 F/A 
I've had           every kind of             fun I could have
 F6/G 
                    had
                               Eb7M                                 F 
Looking at my                   crowd tonight
                         Bb             F/A                       F6/G

 F                         Eb7M 
      in their                   eyes
                               F 
That I don't         like
                                       Eb7M 
'Cause everybody                   knows
 Gm                                     F 
      she ain't coming         back

               Bb                                 F/A 
I'm a           man of repu -               tation
                     F6/G 
in this                       rocker's town
                 Bb                                 F/A

                           F6/G 
I'll never                       live it down
                                     Eb7M                             F 
Every back room                   bed I've made
               Bb                       F/A                                 F6/G 
Every           allnight             thrill room -                     service
 F                           Eb7M 
      bill I've                   paid
                                       F

                                       Eb7M 
'Cause everybody                   knows
 Gm                                       F

                                         Eb7M 
The buttons on my                   clothes
                 Gm                                     F

               F6/G 
be -                       yond her voice
                   Bb                                 F/A
