Black Bear Tavern

[Verso 1]
 
C 
Im on your doorstep every morning 
                 F 
When you open at ten 
      C 
Every morning your waiter says 
                     G 
its nice to see you in 
 


[Verso 2]
 
C 
But he knows Black Bear, Ill spend the rent 
       C7          F 
And my soul if you choose 
                          C 
And Ill die smoking your cigarettes 
    G             C 
And drinking your booze 
 


[Refrão]
 
C 
Tavern, if she calls for me 
C7               F 
Tell her Im not here 
C 
Tavern, tell your waiters 
                      G 
Keep my table full of beer 

       C 
If you want to, say youve seen me jump 
C7                    F 
A freight train going by 
                     C 
Ill drink your beer Black Bear Tavern 
         G           C 
But Ill need you to lie 
 


[Verso 3]
 
C 
Its hard for me when your barman 
       C7                  F 
Has to say its closing in time 
                        C 
And Ive got money left for another round 
      G            C 
And I still have a dime 
 


[Verso 4]
 
C 
Gentlemen, the bars now closed 
    C7              F 
15 minutes to drink up 
                 C 
Last game on the shuffleboard 
      G                 C 
Black Bear that time is rough 
 


[Refrão]
 
C 
Tomorrow, if she calls for me

C

       C 
If you want to, say youve seen me jump 
C7                    F 
A freight train going by 
                     C 
Ill drink your beer Black Bear Tavern 
         G           C 
But Ill need you to lie

          G            C
