C I finally quit smoking cigarettes Am And I don’t go downtown drinking till it’s dawn G C The best parts of you are here but you’re still gone C And lord I’ve been trying to smile like you told me Am Laugh like the old me, it comes out all wrong G C The best parts of you are here but you’re still gone C And I still tie that double knot Am The one you taught that gets caught on the banks G C The best parts of you are here but you still ain’t I finally quit smokin' cigarettes And I don't go downtown drinkin' 'til it's dawn The best parts of you are here but you're still gone Chorus: Am I heard your father got sick of Long Island G I’ve been trying like hell to call C F My mind aint well and I just can’t tell you why Am I heard they shut the old bar G we'd go to when we needed rest C F We’d always stay out too late Tuesday nights You said I was the perfect gentleman You used to hold me by my gentle hands These ain't the hopeful hands you held before And I've been drinkin' so much lately, it seems a damn double blade 'Cause when I'm drunk I dream you're dancin' down the shore Chorus: I heard your father got sick on Long Island I've been tryin' like hell to call My mind ain't well and I just can't tell you why I heard they shut down the old bar we'd go to when we needed rest We'd always stay out too late Tuesday nights I heard your father got sick on Long Island I've been tryin' like hell to call My mind ain't well and I just can't tell you why I heard they shut down the old bar we'd go to when we needed rest We'd always stay out too late Tuesday nights You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsAm ![]() C ![]() F ![]() G ![]() Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
