[Intro]

E7  Asus4  x3

 

[Verse 1]

E7                         Asus4  E7          Asus4

Well, I call you up on the phone: nobody's at home

E7                 Asus4    E7                                Asus4

Then I do my usual thing: I let the telephone ring and ring and ring and ring and ring

E7                      Asus4  E7                   Asus4

I'm standing at a phone booth, coping with the ugly truth

 

[Chorus]

B7                               A7

You see, I know where you are... I know where you are

E7                          Asus4

You're down drinking at the bar

 

[Verse 2]

E7                              Asus4  E7                      Asus4

I can picture you there on that stool, drinking like a drunken fool

E7                                Asus4  E7              Asus4

Yeah, you're sitting there on your ass, muttering into your glass

E7                        Asus4           E7                         Asus4

Paying for your lowlife thrills with wet quarters and soggy one dollar bills

 

[Chorus]

B7                    A7

I know where you are, baby

E7                         Asus4

You're down drinking at the bar

 

[Verse 3]

E7                            Asus4       E7             Asus4

Dean Martin's on the jukebox, I bet  or maybe it's Tammy Wynette

E7                              Asus4

The tearjerkers are jerking your tears

E7                                  Asus4

Salt water in your whiskey and your beers

E7                                       Asus4

You've got the Miller High Life bouncing balls

E7                             Asus4

You've got the Utica Club waterfalls

 

[Chorus]

B7                     A7

I know where you are, oh ho

E7                Asus4

You're down at the bar

E7                Asus4

You're down at the bar

 

[Instrumental Break]

E7  Asus4  x16

 

[Verse 4]

E7                         Asus4

Go ahead get drunk, it's alright

E7                        Asus4

Lost weekend on a Tuesday night

E7                                   Asus4

But I'm going to have to give you the score:

E7                                           Asus4

I'm not going to call you up on the telephone no more

E7                                            Asus4

I'm sick and tired of listening to that phone ring 15 times

E7                                    Asus4

I'm sick and tired of getting back my dimes!

 

[Chorus]

B7

Because I know what you are

  A7

You're at sot, that's what you are

B7

I know what you are

A7

You're a lush

You got a big red nose!

 

[Chorus]

B7

I know where you are, baby

A7

I know where you are...

E7                             Asus4

You're down drinking at the bar

 

[Outro]

E7 Asus4 E7 Asus4  E7
