[Verse 1]

           
It's nine o cl

           
ock on a Satur

day
         
The regular cr

/            
owd shuffles i

 
n
            
There's an old

            
 man sitting n

         
ext to me
          
Makin' love to

           
 his tonic and

          
 gin
          
He says "son c

            
an you play me

           
 a memory?"
          
I'm not really

          
 sure how it g

         
oes
            
But it's sad a

            
nd it's sweet 

            
and I knew it 

 
complete
          
When I wore a 

           
younger man's 


clothes

[Verse 2]

             
Now John at th

end of mine
          
He  gets me my

And he's quick

            
 with a joke o

            
r to light up 

     
your smoke
          
But there's so

              
me place that 

                
he'd rather be
        
He says, Bill,

            
 I be-lieve th

      
is is killing 

me.
          
As a  smile ra

           
n a-way from h

   
is face
            
Well I'm sure 

            
that I could b

If   I could g

           
et out of this

 
 place
