E E7 A

A                              D
You sit there and tell me, how you'd like to be free
       E                              D             A
You're tired of bein' tied down, to a home and fam- -ily
                                       D
You say you miss the bright lights, a- -long the great white way
E                         E7                A
Little do you realize the price you have to pay

                                  E
Tears will be the chaser for your wine
                             A
After you leave this love of mine
                   A7              D
*Bright lights and taverns, that's where you'll spend your time
     E                 E7              A
*And tears will be the chaser for your wine

Instrumental: Follow pattern of last two lines of Chorus*

A                             D
Before you make up your mind, you really want to go
E                               D                   A
Stop and think it over, there's something you don't know
                       D
When the part is over, then what will you do
E                                  E7              A
When you wanna come back, there'll be no place for you

                                      E
And tears will be the chaser for your wine
                             A
After you leave this love of mine
                   A7              D
*Bright lights and taverns, that's where you'll spend your time
     E                 E7              A
*And tears will be the chaser for your wine
