[Intro]
| G | % | % | % |


[Verse 1]
     G
Everybody's gone away
                        C
Said they're movin to L.A
C                           D
 There's not a soul I know around
D                    |  G  |   G
 Everybody's leavin' town   (break)


[Verse 2]
                                     G
Some caught a freight, some caught a plane
                              C
Found the sunshine, leave the rain
                                     D
They said this town will waste their time
D                                   |  G  |   G
 I guess they're right, it's wasting mine   (break)


[Chorus]
                          | Cmaj7 C6 |
Some gotta win, some gotta lose
D                            |  G  |
 Good time Charlie's got the blues
D                            |  G  |   G
 Good time Charlie's got the blues   (break)

[Verse 3]
                                G
You know my heart keeps tellin' me
                           C
You're not a kid at thirty-three
      D
Play around, you'll lose your wife
D                                     |  G  |   G
 You play it too long you'll lose your life mine   (break)


[Chorus]
                          | Cmaj7 C6 |
Some gotta win, some gotta lose
D                            |  G  |
 Good time Charlie's got the blues
D                            |  G  |
 Good time Charlie's got the blues
