'Horseshoe Lounge.'
written by Slaid Cleaves and Karen Poston

Recorded by Slaid Cleaves on the cd 'Broke Down' on
Philo records.

I think he plays this in F, so capo on three and play
these chords.  If you want to play in F then it's F,
Bb and C substituted for the chords below.


D
Ricky got the quarters for the table and broke
        G
While I pulled hard on the sorrow and smoke
D
Raising up my bottle I looked for a chance
       G
As you set your glass down on the bar with a glance at
me
A           G         D
Down at the Horseshoe Lounge
A                G    D
Shuffleboard and neon light
A           G         D
Down at the Horseshoe Lounge
A              G         D
Cigarettes and whiskey tonight

Ricky said 'She's out of your league, let her go'
As I watched you pick your partner on that old dance
floor
I know it didn't work out the first time we tried
But I'd do anything to have you by my side again.
Down at the Horseshoe Lounge
Peel the label off a miller light
Down at the Horseshoe Lounge
I sit here thinking 'bout you every night.

G                    D
Were you the one who faltered
    A             D
Was I the one who strayed
      G           D                   A
Maybe God left us out of the plans he made

So here's to missed beginnings and things that never
start
For these are the ghosts that run around in my heart
When I see that where I'm going isn't where I want to
be
I get the urge to look you up see if you would come
and meet me
Down at the Horseshoe Lounge
Hey Buddy have you got a light
Down at the Horseshoe Lounge
One more and I'll be alright

Down at the Horseshoe Lounge
Peel the label off a Miller Light
Down at the Horseshoe Lounge
I sit here thinkin' 'bout you every night.

Ricky got the quarters for the table and broke
While I pulled hard on the sorrow and smoke
