It's quarter to three, there's no one in the place except you and me
D D9 D Am7 D D9 D D4 Am Am7
So, set 'em up, Joe, I got a little story
D D9 D Am7 D D7M D7
You oughta know
G F7 G F7 Em7 D A7 G/B B7
We're drinkin', my friend, to the end of a brief episode
G G/F# Em7 G G/F# G/B A7 D G Dm6
Make it one for my baby and one more for the road. I got the routine
G Dm6 Am7 G Dm6 G Dm6
So drop another nickel in the machine
G Dm6 G Am7 Dm6 G Dm6 G G7M G7 G6
I feel kind a bad, wish you'd make the music pretty and sad
C C9 C C9 Am7 G Am7 Eº E7
Could tell you a lot, but it's not in the gentleman's code

So, make it one for my baby and one more for the road
Bridge

You'd never know it but buddy, I'm a kind of poet, and I got a lot of things to say
Am7 C9 C C/B Am7 E7 Em7 A7
And when I'm gloomy, you gotta listen to me till it's all talked away
G Dm6 G Dm6 Am7 G Dm6 G Dm6
Well that's how it goes, and Joe, I know you're gettin' pretty anxious to close
D Dm6 G Dm6 Am7 G Dm6 G G7M G7
So, thanks for the cheer, I hope you didn't mind my bendin' your ear
C C9 Am7 G/B Am7 G Am7 Eº E7
This torch that I found must be drowned or it soon might explode
A7 Em7 A7 C Em7 Eº Am7 E7 F7 E7
So, make it one for my baby and one more for the road
A7 Eº Am7 G#7 G Am7 A7 D9 Am7 G
That long, long road
