I wasn't 100 percent sure on the lyrics when working out the chords, so I checked out a
lyirc sites but they all contained lines that just don't sound right to me when I hear
song. But having listened to it more carefully, I've come up with what I think are
lyrics below - at least closer than any of the lyric sites I consulted.
Anyway, the chords are easy and it's a fun song to play and sing along to. Enjoy
TUNING:
Capo 2nd fret
CHORDS USED: (relative to capo)
G (320003)
D (xx0232)
C (x32010)
Em (x22000)
Am (x02210)
[F]Bb [(133211)](x13331)
x Mute string
Intro:
[G] [D] [G]
Verse 1:
It [C]must be hard [Em]ringing the bells
Of [G]doors that don't swing [D]wide any[C]more
It must be hard [Em]hearing the sound
Of [G]voices just in[D]side of the [C]door
Chorus 1:
A [C]man who couldn't [Em]hold your [Am]coat
Who's [C]hung on every [Em]anic[Am]dote
So it [G]must be hard [D]watching the fellows [Em]gloat
Ballan[C]tines
Verse 2:
It [C]must be hard [Em]seeing the same old [G]crowd
Just pass you [D]by in the [C]street
It must be tough k[Em]nowing your stuff
Could [G]only horri[D]fy the e[C]lite
Chorus 2:
You [C]cut off every[Em]one you [Am]know
[C]Boy you tell `em all [Em]where to [Am]go
Now it [G]must be hard g[D]etting the same hea[Em]ve-ho
Ballan[C]tines
Bridge:
Well, [F]patrons at the bar in [C]Lexington Kentucky
Who [F]sprung for every drink you [C]downed
With [F]things the way they are it's [C]not that kind of party
If [Bb]what you've got might just be [Am]good
Solo: (Do do do...)
C Em Am (x3)
[F] [D]
Chorus 3:
And [C]fuck-ups won't be [Em]getting [Am]thin
[C]Seeing the kind of [Em]jam you're [Am]in
Though the [G]angels dance on the [D]head of another [Em]pin
Ballan[C]tines[Am]
Ballan[C]tines[Am]
Ballant[G]-i-[D]i-[Em]ines
End with:
[G] [D] [G]
