[Intro]
[verse]
I had plenty of [G]keys on my key ring
A beautiful home I had everything[D]
With a lovin' [C7]wife and a car to [G]drive
I came home from w[(1)]ork [D]every day at five[(2)]
[G]And one by one I started losin' them keys[(3)]
My darling wife[(4)] I just couldn't [D(5)]please
My boss got [C7(6)]on my nerves one[G] day[(7)]
I knew that [(1)]I [D]was on my way[(2)]
[Chorus]
I lost my [C]wife, I lost my [G]home
Quit my [D]job, and set out a[G]lone
C G (8)x8
With just one key on my key chain
I'm gonna [D]start all over [G]again[(9)]
[verse]
G (10)
She finally decided we just couldn't be
She wanted things[(11)] I just couldn't [D]see[(12)]
She said, I'm [C7(13)]tired of waiting[G] around[(14)]
(1) D (2) without s5
She took the last train out of town
[Repeat chorus] (15) lead break
[verse]
[G]Well the bankers came and took the key to my home
Just one key left from all I ever [D]owned
I'm turning that [C]key lettin' out the [G]clutch[(16)]
I never did like[(1)] [D]this town that much[(2)]
[Repeat chorus]
[Licks]
[(1)] [(2)] [(3)] [(4)][(5)][(6)]
Note for lick (5) :
3h5
4s5 I fret the B string 3rd fret with my index finger and the G string 4th
fret with the middle finger. Then I hammer the B string 5th fret with
my ring finger. This could also be played using slides for both
instead of the hammer. I prefer the combo slide/hammer.
(7) (8) (9)
(10) (11) (12) (13) (14)
(15) lead break
(16) Ending
I hope I didn't make any typos or note omissions. If you find any, yell at me.
