Smoky Grease And Alcohol

Capo 2 -> A. D DT harmonica.

G Bm
I shuffle to the mirror I say `good mornin''. Standing on cold tiles I dare to see
Am D Am D G
Bags of grey and blue lines both old and new, all over me
Bm
Headed to the closet humming something. Looking for a shirt that isn't there
Am D Am D G G7
Fog inside my brain. Eyesight on the wane, life isn't fair

C G
All I did was burn the candle with a blowtorch at both ends
D D7 G G7
In bed by 8 a.m. most of my days
C Em
Ninety years of standing tall, smoky grease and alcohol
Am Am7 D D7
Why do I stand here in a haze?

G Bm
I am waiting for the coffee shots to hit me. Memories of last night wash over me
Am D Am D G
The dancing at the bar. Tequila by the jar, just living free
Bm
I remember all the youthful faces. Not a wrinkle, a shadow, a grey hair
Am D Am D G G7
But as the years go by they leave marks around your eyes. I've been there

G Bm
Well its 8pm and I think I'm nearly with it. Time to go down the town for a see
Am D Am D G
A honky tonk or two and a pack of Rizla blue will set me free
Bm
And when its time I'll tune up my old guitar. Shuffle up to the mike and I will sing
Am D Am D G G7
Tales of love and tears. The things that ninety years will always bring

C G
All I did was burn the candle with a blowtorch at both ends
D D7 G G7
In bed by 8am most of my days
C Em
Ninety years of standing tall. Smokey grease and alcohol
C D G
That's why I stand here in a haze
C D G
That's why I stand here in a haze
