The Buck Starts Here

E
I never knew this place
                  A
Had so much empty space
      E                            
Until tonight, when you walked 
          B
right out the door
E
And so I walked to our bedside
A
And pulled out that 45
     E               B            
That laid for years behind our 
       E
chest of drawers


[Verse 2]
E
At first, it looked too worn to play
                  A
The label all but washed away
     E                             
Then I made out the name of my old 
B
friend
E
Thirty years, and a scratch or two
A
But when the needle hit the groove
   E           B            E
I knew it was "Cryin' Time" again

The Buck starts here
                  E
With Hank sure to follow
                     B
Turn him up loud and clear
                A     E
He's singin' my sorrow
                  A
Let the sad songs roll on
                            E
Through a house filled with tears
                       B
When the good times is gone
                E
The Buck starts here


[Verse 3]
E
The people in the house next door
                         A
Think I'm tearing up the floor
     E                             
It's half past four, my lights are 
        B
burning bright
E
This occasion's no big deal:
 A
It's just some boys from Bakersfield
    E              B              
Who came around to help me through
     E
 the night

                       B
