C's should be emphasized with sus2's and sus4's.
F's could be played as Fmaj7 most of the time
and G's should always be emphasized with a G7
C – G – C - G
C G
The door was open I was seething
C F
Your mother burst in it was freezing
C G C
She said it looks like it’s trying to rain
C G
I was lost I felt sea sick
C F
You convinced me that he’d left
C G C
You said keep talking but don’t use any names
F
I scolded your driver and your brother
C
We are old enough to know how long you’ve been hooked
F
And we’ve all been through the war
And each time you score
C G
Someone gets hauled and handcuffed and booked

C G
It felt like four in the morning
C F
What sounded like fire works
C G C
Turned out to be just what it was
C G
The stars looked like diamonds
C F
Then came the sirens
C G C
And everyone started to cuss
F
All the noise was disturbing
And I couldn’t find Irving
C
It was like two stations on at the same time
F
And then I hid your car keys
And I made black coffee
C G
And I dumped out the rest of the rum
C G
Nick and Socorro broke up
C F
And Candice wouldn’t shut up
C G C
Fin he recorded the whole thing
C G
Ray he said damn you
C F
And someone broke my camera
C
And it was New Years
G C
And we all started to sing
F C G C F
Should auld acquaintance be forgot and never brought to mind
F C G Am F C
Should auld acquaintance be forgot for the sake of auld lang syne
F
I was leaving in the morning with Charles for Las Vegas
C
And I didn’t plan to come back
F
I had only a few things
Two hundred dollars
C G
And my records in a brown paper sack
C G
I ran out on Sheila
C F
Everything’s in storage
C G C
Calvin’s right I should go back to driving truck
F C G C F
Should auld acquaintance be forgot and never brought to mind
F C G Am F C
Should auld acquaintance be forgot for the sake of auld lang syne
