C G F
It's nine o'clock on a Wednesday [C]

The regular crowd are all in [D7] [G]
C G F C
There's an old man sitting next to me
F G C
Making love to his tonic and gin....
C G F
He says, "Son, can you play me a memory? [C]
F D7
I'm not really sure how it goes [G]
C G F C
But it's sad and it's sweet and I knew it complete
F G C
When I wore a younger man's clothes."

[Verse 2]
C G F C
Now John at the bar is a friend of mine
F C D7
He gets me a drink for free [G]
C G F C
And he's quick with a joke but won't light up a smoke
F G C
But there's some place that he'd rather be
C G F C
He says, "Hey, I believe this is killing me."
F Am D7
As the smile ran away from his face [G]
C G F C
"Well I'm sure that I could be a movie star
F G C
If I could get out of this place" [Interlude]
[Verse 3]
C G F C
Now Paul is a real estate novelist
F Am D7
Who never had time for a wife [G]
C G F C
And he's talking with Davy, who's still in the Navy
F G C
And probably will be for life
C G F
And the waitress is practicing politics [C]
F Am D7
As the businessman slowly gets stoned [G]
C G F C
Yes, they're sharing a drink they call loneliness
F G C
But it's better than drinking alone [Chorus]
[Verse 4]
C G F
It's a pretty good crowd for a Wednesday [C]
F Am D7
And the manager gives me a smile [G]
C G F C
'Cause he knows that it's we they've been coming to see
F G C
To forget about life for a while
C G F
And the ukes, they all sound like a carnival [C]
F Am D7
And the microphone smells like a beer [G]
C G F C
And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar
F G C
And say, "Man, what are yous doing here?"
