     G 
Everybody's gone away 
                       C 
Said they're movin to L.A. 
                             D7 
There's not a soul I know around 
                    G 
Everybody's leavin' town 

Some caught a freight, some caught a plane 
Found the sunshine in the rain 
They said this town's will waste their time 
I guess they're right, it's wasting mine 
G                    C     D7 
Some gotta win, some gotta lose 
			    G 
Good time Charlie's got the blues 
D7                             G 
Good time Charlie's got the blues 
You know my heart keeps tellin' me 
You're not a kid at thirty-three 
Play around you'll lose your wife 
You play it too long you'll lose your life 
Some gotta win, some gotta lose 
Good time Charlie's got the blues 
Good time Charlie's got the blues 
Good time Charlie's got the blues 
Some gotta win, some gotta lose 
Good time Charlie's got the blues 
Good time Charlie's got the blues 
Good time Charlie's got the blues
