Introduction:
G /D /G D
[tab] G
Ah, we're drinking and we're dancing[/tab]
and the band is really happening
[tab] Em
and the Johnny Walker wisdom running high,[/tab]
[tab] Bm
And my very sweet companion,[/tab]
she's the Angel of Compassion
[tab] Em
and she's rubbing half the world against her thigh.[/tab]
[tab] C
And every drinker, every dancer[/tab]
lifts a happy face to thank her
[tab] G B7 Em
and the fiddler fiddles something so sublime[/tab]
[tab] D
all the women tear their blouses off[/tab]
the men they dance on the polka dots
[tab] C
and it's partner found and it's partner lost[/tab]
and it's hell to pay when the fiddler stops
[tab] G
it's CLOSING TIME[/tab]
[tab] C
Yeah, the women tear their blouses off[/tab]
the men they dance on the polka dots
[tab] G B7
and it's partner found and it's partner lost[/tab]
[tab] Em C
and it's hell to pay when the fiddler stops[/tab]
[tab] G D
it's CLOSING TIME[/tab]
[tab] G
We're lonely, we're romantic[/tab]
and the cider's laced with acid
[tab] Em
and the Holy Spirit's crying, "Where's the beef?"[/tab]
[tab] Bm
And the moon is swimming naked[/tab]
and the summer night is fragrant
[tab] Em
with a mighty expectation of relief[/tab]
[tab] C
So we struggle and we stagger[/tab]
down the snakes and up the ladder
[tab] G B7 Em
to the tower where the blessed hours chime[/tab]
[tab] D
and I swear it happened just like this:[/tab]
a sigh, a cry, a hungry kiss
[tab] C
the Gates of Love they budged an inch[/tab]
I can't say much has happened since
[tab] G
but CLOSING TIME[/tab]
[tab] C
I swear it happned just like this:[/tab]
a sigh, a cry, a hungry kiss
[tab] G B7
the Gates of Love they budged an inch[/tab]
[tab] Em C
I can't say much has happened since[/tab]
(can't say much has happned since, can't say much has happened since)
[tab] G D
but CLOSING TIME, CLOSING TIME[/tab]
[tab] Em
I loved you for your beauty[/tab]
but that doesn't make a fool of me
[tab]Bm
you were in it for your beauty too[/tab]
[tab] Em
and I loved you for your body[/tab]
there's a voice that sounds like God to me
[tab]A A7
declaring (declaring) declaring (declaring)[/tab]
[tab]D
declaring that you're body's really you (really really really really)[/tab]
[tab] C
I loved you when our love was blessed[/tab]
I love you now there's nothing left
[tab] G B7 Em
but sorrow and a sense of overtime[/tab]
[tab] D
and I miss you since the place got wrecked[/tab]
but I just don't care what happens next
[tab]C
looks like freedom but it feels like death[/tab]
it's something in between, I guess
[tab] G
it's CLOSING TIME[/tab]
[tab] C
Yeah. I miss you since the place got wrecked[/tab]
by the winds of change and the weeds of sex
[tab]G B7
looks like freedom but it feels like death[/tab]
[tab] Em C
it's something in between, I guess[/tab]
[tab] G D
it's CLOSING TIME[/tab]
[tab] G
Yeah, we're drinking and we're dancing[/tab]
but there's nothing really happening
[tab] Em
The place is dead as Heaven on a Saturday night[/tab]
[tab] Bm
And my very close companion[/tab]
gets me fumbing gets me laughing
[tab] Em
she's a hundred but she's wearing something tight[/tab]
[tab] C
And I lift my glass to the Awful Truth[/tab]
which you can't reveal to the Ears of Youth
[tab] G B7 Em
except to say it isn't worth a dime[/tab]
[tab] D
And the whole damn place goes crazy twice[/tab]
and it's once for the Devil and it's once for Christ
[tab] C
but the Boss don't like these dizzy heights[/tab]
we're busted in the blinding lights
[tab] G
