                       single notes

[Verse]

            E                   E7
I'm gettin' tired    of runnin' round
                 A7                         Am7
Believe I'll get married    and I'll settle down
                 E          C#7               F#7           B7
Because this old night life     this mean old sportin' life
              B#7     B7  E      G#dim  Gm  Bm7  E       Eb  E  F  F#
You know it's killin'     me                             Single Notes


[Verse]

            E                 E7
And I got a letter    from my home
               A7                                Am7
And most of my good friends    they are dead and gone
                E     C#7            F#7    B7
And it makes me worry     no need to wonder
          B#7   B7 E         G#dim  Gm  Bm7  E       Eb  E  F  F#
About the times to come                              Single Notes


[Verse]

                   E                         E7
And Mother used to fall     on her knees and pray
                  A7                     Am7
And these are the very     words she did say
              E      C#7           F#7    B7
She said, "Oh Johnny     my lovin' Johnny
             B#7    B7          E           G#dim  Gm  Bm7  E        Eb  E  F  F#
Oh won't you please change your ways?"                               Single Notes


[Verse]

            E                         E7
I've been a gambler     and a cheater too
                  A7                Am7
But now it's come my     my time to lose
                 E          C#7               F#7              B7
Because this old night life     you know it's holdin' the best hand
    B#7  B7    E          G#dim  Gm  Bm7  E        Eb  E  F  F#
And what can I do?                                 Single Notes

[verse]

            E                   E7
I'm gettin' tired    of runnin' round
                 A7                         Am7
Believe I'll get married    and I'll settle down
                 E          C#7               F#7           B7
Because this old night life     this mean old sportin' life
         B#7     B7  E      G#dim  Gm  Bm7  E        Eb  E  F  F#
And it's killin'     me                              Single Notes
