Now ^CI've got a friend, a girl named Ann, Who ^Fasked me one day if she can ^CMeet me at the bar to ^Gshare a laugh and a ^Cbrew So, ^CI told my friend Ann, Why, ^Fyes indeed, I sure can I ^Ctell you what, I can ^Gstay long enough to make it ^Ctwo

^CTrains and cranes, Lloyd Maines and planes and ^FMamas and llamas and lots of drama and even ^CSnakes and cakes, earthquakes, heartbreaks ^GChickens and T Bone Pickens

Tat^Ctoos and blues and boys named Sue and Com^Fputers, commuters, hooters and polluters, Pub ^Ccrawlin', name callin', mothballin', dry wallin' ^GNuns with guns and ^Ftons of really bad ^Cpuns

Well, ^Fwouldn't you know, we was runnin' out of things to ^Csay But I ^D7told her two brews, kept my word ^G7 an' promised to stay

^CGirls and curls and pearls and twirls Gui^Ftars and bars and cars and scars and ^CBeer and beer and beer, beer, beer An' how ^Ghappy I was, to ^Fmeet my friend at the ^Cbar

Now my m^Cind began to wander aimlessly And I be^Fgan to ponder shamelessly If our convers^Gation' ^F had sadly ^Cdrowned C [Slowly strummed] So, when my time was through And I had ^Fdowned my second brew I l^Cooked at that girl named Ann G F C [Regular tempo] And I asked her' if she'd like another round

Ya see, ^CI've got a friend, a girl named Ann, Who ^Fasked me one day if she can ^CMeet me at the bar to ^Gshare a laugh and a ^Cbrew
