[ Предположительная тональность: G ] (Intro) G G C G G D G (Chorus) G C G When you close up the bar, would you please lock me in, G D I'd rather be here then go home... G C G G D G Got me no wife and I had me no kids so I'd rather be here than alone. (Verse) G C G Mary my bride, she was just seventeen, G D Her parents they didn't approve... G C G G D G Her mom was a bitch 'cause I wasn't rich and they sent her to boarding school. (Chorus) G C G When you close up the bar, would you please lock me in, G D I'd rather be here then go home... G C G G D G Got me no wife and I had me no kids so I'd rather be here than alone. (Verse) G C G Lost my true love, 'twas a family affair, G D What was a poor lad to do?... G C G D G I asked for her hand not her Dad's plan and that's why I sit on this stool. (Chorus) G C G When you close up the bar, would you please lock me in, G D I'd rather be here then go home... G C G G D G Got me no wife and I had me no kids so I'd rather be here than alone. (Verse) (Slower, single strum) G C G She wrote me a letter, then knitted a sweater, G D The note it read "Good luck"... (Faster, regular strum) G C G But a tear in my beer, the ink it did smear D G And that's why I'm better off drunk. (Chorus) G C G When you close up the bar, would you please lock me in, G D I'd rather be here then go home... G C G G D G Got me no wife and I had me no kids so I'd rather be here than alone. (Repeat chorus 2x, last time a capella sing along)
