Now JCohn at the Gbar is a Ffriend of mine C
He Fgets me my Cdrinks for Dfree G
And he's Cquick with a Gjoke or to Flight up your Csmoke
But there's Fsomeplace that Fadd9he'd rather beC F

He says, "CBill, I beGlieve this is Fkilling me."C
As the Fsmile ran aCway from his Dface G
"Well I'm Csure that I Gcould be a Fmovie star C
If FI could get Fadd9out of this Cplace"

It's a Cpretty good Gcrowd for a FSaturday C

And they Csit at the Gbar and put Fbread in my Cjar
And say, "FMan, what are Fadd9you doin' Chere?"
