Down Drinking At The Bar Chords

(ver. 1)
Loudon Wainwright Iii
[Intro]
E7  Asus4  x3
 
[Verse 1]
E7                         Asus4  E7          Asus4
Well, I call you up on the phone: nobody's at home
E7                 Asus4    E7                                Asus4
Then I do my usual thing: I let the telephone ring and ring and ring and ring and ring
E7                      Asus4  E7                   Asus4
I'm standing at a phone booth, coping with the ugly truth
 
[Chorus]
B7                               A7
You see, I know where you are... I know where you are
E7                          Asus4
You're down drinking at the bar
 
[Verse 2]
E7                              Asus4  E7                      Asus4
I can picture you there on that stool, drinking like a drunken fool
E7                                Asus4  E7              Asus4
Yeah, you're sitting there on your ass, muttering into your glass
E7                        Asus4           E7                         Asus4
Paying for your lowlife thrills with wet quarters and soggy one dollar bills
 
[Chorus]
B7                    A7
I know where you are, baby
E7                         Asus4
You're down drinking at the bar
 
[Verse 3]
E7                            Asus4       E7             Asus4
Dean Martin's on the jukebox, I bet  or maybe it's Tammy Wynette
E7                              Asus4
The tearjerkers are jerking your tears
E7                                  Asus4
Salt water in your whiskey and your beers
E7                                       Asus4
You've got the Miller High Life bouncing balls
E7                             Asus4
You've got the Utica Club waterfalls
 
[Chorus]
B7                     A7
I know where you are, oh ho
E7                Asus4
You're down at the bar
E7                Asus4
You're down at the bar
 
[Instrumental Break]
E7  Asus4  x16
 
[Verse 4]
E7                         Asus4
Go ahead get drunk, it's alright
E7                        Asus4
Lost weekend on a Tuesday night
E7                                   Asus4
But I'm going to have to give you the score:
E7                                           Asus4
I'm not going to call you up on the telephone no more
E7                                            Asus4
I'm sick and tired of listening to that phone ring 15 times
E7                                    Asus4
I'm sick and tired of getting back my dimes!
 
[Chorus]
B7
Because I know what you are
  A7
You're at sot, that's what you are
B7
I know what you are
A7
You're a lush
You got a big red nose!
 
[Chorus]
B7
I know where you are, baby
A7
I know where you are...
E7                             Asus4
You're down drinking at the bar
 
[Outro]
E7 Asus4 E7 Asus4  E7
 
 
 
Use this bass run changing from E7 to Asus4 and back again
