[Intro]
G Gsus2 G Gsus2
[Verse 1]
G Am
I took a detour off a California run
D G
Searching for a joint I played back in 1981
G Am
Up a rugged canyon there’s that steakhouse, there’s the bar
D G
Where I played three sets a night with my old Martin guitar
G C
The owner she smiled and said it’s been a long long time
C Bm
How ya doing cowboy, I said well I guess I’m doing fine
Bm Am
I saw that special out on your chalkboard sign
D G
Same old T-Bone steak and a glass of Spanish wine
[Verse 2]
G Am
She smiled and said well not much is new
D G
Sit on down here and I’ll take a glass with you
G Am
The canyon’s been torn apart by wildfires now
D G
We cater to an mostly older retired crowd
G C
The music ain’t like what it used to be
C Bm
When you could tear our hearts out in any song, in any key
Bm Am
Now it’s all just background noise to me
D G
The T-Bone steak and the glass of wine’s on me
[Bridge]
Cm G
Then I looked deep into her eyes I saw my reflection as a much younger man
Cm G
The minstrel kid clawing a path across this wild old honky tonky land
Cm G
Then she closed her eyes and we hummed up that old Scotch and Soda song
Am D
Then she said ah the hell with the past kid, I hope you brought your guitar along
[Verse 3]
D C
T-Bone steak and a glass of Spanish wine
C Bm
The daily special served from five to nine
Bm Am
Carved in stone on that old chalkboard sign
D G
I played Goodnight Irene at closing time
G C
And the crowd was drunk but they always sang along
C Bm
I took requests for those old cowboy songs
Bm Am D
’Til last call and the barkeep banged the gong
D G
He yelled goodnight Irene folks move along
[Bridge]
Cm G
Then she closed her eyes and I sang a verse of Ain’t It Funny How The Time Slips Away
Cm Am D
She laughed out loud and said cowboy you just took me back to a thousand yesterdays
[Verse 4]
D C
One last glass and I headed for the door
C Bm
She said so long you ragtime troubadour
Bm Am
I said I’ll circle back here down the line
D G
For a little T-Bone steak and Spanish wine
G C
T-Bone steak and a glass of Spanish wine
C Bm
The daily special served from five til nine
Bm Am D
Carved in stone on their old chalkboard sign
D G
I sang Goodnight Irene at closing time
G C
And the crowd was drunk but they always sang along
C Bm
I took requests for those old country songs
Bm Am
’Til it was last call the barkeep banged the gong
D G
He yelled goodnight Irene folks move along
Cm D G
Ain’t it funny how the time slips away
Am D Cm
Ain’t it funny how the time slips away
G
Aye aye
