[Bm]
This dusty old coat rack is where I hang my hat [A] every time I walk on through [Bm] that door.
And this dirty old bar is where I hang my head [A] same as I did the night [Bm] before.
That aged old barkeep, he is my only friend.
[A] He keeps that whiskey flowing [Bm] every night.
Cause I sit here and wonder till every evening's end, [A] why couldn't I have [Bm] done right?
[F#m] [G] There once was a time [D] when you were [Bm] mine [A] and I walked with my head [Bm] up high.
[G] And this bottle right here, it [D] can drown my tears, [A] but I still wish you were here, I wish
you [Bm] were here.
This torn and frayed barstool is where I place my coat [A] every day at quarter [Bm] past four.
As I recall the day I read the words you wrote, [A] dear John you won't see me [Bm] anymore.
So I sit here and drink another bottle down, [A] dialing up another [Bm] cigarette.
And [F#m] thinking days gone by, where he [Bm] could be now, [A] fills me up with nothing but [Bm] regret.
[D] [G] There once was a time [D] when you were mine [A] and I walked with my head [Bm] up high.
[G] And this bottle right here, it [D] can drown my tears, [A] but I still wish you were here, I wish
you [Bm] were here.

As I set out to ride my trusty iron horse, [A] as I set out to hit the [Bm] open road, I look
up to the sky, the sky sets my course, [A] and I am just another long [Bm] gone soul.
[D] [G] There once was a time [D] when you were [Bm] mine [A] and I walked with my head [Bm] up high.
[G] And this bottle right here, it [D] can drown my tears, [A] but I still wish you were here, I wish
