  Subject: Good Time Charlie's Got The Blues by Danny O'Keefe

  

  

  I looked everywhere for the lyrics to this tune and finally someone sent

  them to me.  It is a great tune played with a little steady bass strum and

  easy finger-picking.

  As the person who sent the lyrics said of the refrain...There's sort of a

  universal truth there somewhere.

  

  

  					Good Time Charlie's Got the Blues

  							By

  						   Danny O'keefe

  

  

  

         G

  Everybody's gone away

                                     C

  I hear they're moving to LA

                                        D7

  There ain't a soul I know around 

                                G

  Everybody'l leaving town

  

  

  Some caught a freight, some took a plane

  Catch the sunshine, leave the rain

  They say this town'll waste your time

  I guess they know, it's wasting mine

  

  Refrain:

                                 G

  	Some gotta win

  		       C D7 

  	Some gotta lose

  				       G

  	Good time Charlie's got the blues

  

  My crazy heart keeps telling me

  You're not a kid at thirty-three

  Play around you lose your wife

  Play too long you lose your life

  

  I've got my pills to ease the pain

  Ain't found nothing to ease the rain

  Someday I'd like to settle down

  But everybody's leaving town

  

  	

  Since I can't figure out how to draw the tab 

  The whole song is a finger picking strum from G (Alternating the E and D

  strings for the bass line)

  Hammering on the D and B strings  (to  Am7 moving your bass line up to the

  Dand G strings)

  Moving your Am7 up 2 frets adding the B string between beats with the  Dand

  G strings

  Hammering on back at Am7 with the D and B strings (bass still on the D&G

  strings)

  Back to G and the original bass line.

  

  You can follow this strum (if you can follow it at all) to the last line of

  both the verses and the refrain 

  where it goes to D7 and the Gand B strings slide up 2 frets and back down

  to D7

  play the Gstring open

  Hammer on the D

  and Back to The original bass strum at G

  I make it sound harder than it is.  It is a basic finger picking strum.
