Capo 4 [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 Chorus 1:-i [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 Chorus 2: Down at the Horseshoe Lounge Peel the label off a Miller Lite Down at the Horseshoe Lounge I sit here thinking 'bout you every night Bridge: [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 Chorus 3: Down at the Horseshoe Lounge Hey, buddy have you got a light Down at the Horseshoe Lounge One more and I'll be alright Repeat Chorus 2 Ricky got the quarters for the table and broke (Sing slowly) While I pulled hard on the sorrow and smoke
