Empty As A Drum

      C
Well two old red-nosed whiskey 
drunks were talkin politics
        E7                       
It was time to hit the bricks, it 
      F
was time for me to go
    C
And I was right there on the verge 
of pullin' out my hair
      E7                        
Actin as though I could not care 
            F
less and hopin' she would show

         C
Well my bags are packed and ready, I
 was feelin' like a wreck
        E7                         
Some clothes and personal effects, 
           F
I left everything I own
         C
And the last I laid eyes on her, we 
were in a hotel hall
        E7                       
Holdin hands like paper dolls, aw 
      F
but here I sit alone


[Chorus]
                C              
Well I'm gonna give it one more 
   G              F
minute, give me one more round of 
rum

              G                    
Well I'm as empty as a drum, I'm as
   F
 empty as a drum
  C                   G         F
Could you spare a cigarette, I hate 
to be a bum
                G                
But here's to hopin' she'll still 
  C             F              C 
come, I'm too old to be this 
                 C              F
dumb, well I'm too old to be this 
dumb

        C
Well I tell you that bartender, 
she's a site to see
              E7                   
Aw you'd be envious of me, least 
    F
you would if she was here
         C
And the kid there in the corner has 
been spoilin' for a fight
              E7                   
And it feels like that of night, aw
          F
 buddy instead pour me a beer


[Chorus]
            C                G    
I’m gonna give it one more minute,
          F
 give me one more round of rum
             G                   
Well im as empty as a drum, im as 
   F
empty as a drum
      C                   G       
And could you spare a cigarette, I
  F
 hate to be a bum
                G                
But here’s to hopin‘ she’ll still 
   C            F              C

        F              C
Im too old to be this dumb

When you darkened up the doorway, I 
stood up from the bar
            E7                   
Well I said hey now here you are, 
           F
damn it darlin how are you and you 
kissed me
        C

        E7

           F
Oh what a mess we got into
