    The same ole stool,           the same ole fool,

C                                                   D7

    played by the rules, but didn't win.

    that string of pearls that slipped away.

G                                - Bm                     Em

    A thousand dimes,           a thousand times

C                                              D7

    he doesn't mind what they say.

Am                                         D7

    He fills the jukebox then plays that same ole song,

    he fills his glass and then he turns her memory on.
