Last Chance Saloon
A good solid boogie
words and music by Martin Stirrup 2018
F#m E D
Who’d have thought it would ever get this far
F#m E D
From a slip of a girl to faded beauty at the bar
F#m D A
The door may be closing but while it still stands ajar
E
Now ain’t the time to leave
She may feel uncertain but she plays it cool
Keeps up the flirtin’ while he’s still on that stool
Play as the victim, or play him for a fool
Tricks up her sleeve
A E
She sets those doleful brown eyes
G D
In their frame of honey blonde
A E
She don’t want to lose
G D
What she’s set her heart upon
A Amaj7 A6
Her body twitches
D2 Dm2
At the thought of loss of riches
A D E
Her hopes can’t evaporate
So she’ll pucker those lips
And shyly glance
She’s been taking tips from
Some book on romance
Her mind is racing
On the future she’s been chasing
A E A
She can’t let this one escape
She got a feeling she’s got nothing left to lose
Keep him talking while he’s paying for the booze
Time is passing but it keeps away the blues
What else can she do
All this while he’s thinking, taking stock
She’s not the only one who’s been around the block
Has he got the combination to unpick her lock
Which way will he choose
