                  G
Everybody's gone away
                         C
Said they're movin to L. A.
Am                          D
There's not a soul I know around
D                    G  G
Everybody's leavin' town

Some caught a freight, some caught a plane
Found the sunshine in the rain
They said this town's will waste their time
I guess they're right, it's wasting mine

Chorus:
                            C
Some gotta win, some gotta lose
D                             G  D7
Good time Charlie's got the blues
                              G  C D G
Good time Charlie's got the blues

You know my heart keeps tellin' me
You're not a kid at thirty-three
Play around you'll lose your wife
You play it too long you'll lose your life

Chorus:
                            C
Some gotta win, some gotta lose
D7                            G
Good time Charlie's got the blues
D7                            G
Good time Charlie's got the blues
D7                            G
Good time Charlie's got the blues

G C Am D G

I got my pills to ease the pain
Can't find a thing to ease the rain
I'd love to try and settle down
But everybody's leavin' town

Chorus:
                            C
Some gotta win, some gotta lose
D7                            G
Good time Charlie's got the blues
D7                            G
Good time Charlie's got the blues
D7                            G
Good time Charlie's got the blues
