MY LIFE'S NEVER BEEN THE SAME.

LOST MY JOB AT THE HONKY-TONK,

DON'T HAVE A WASHINGTON QUARTER,

SHE TOOK AWAY MY SONG.

Chords:
B barre chord - 799877
E swing chord - 076777
F# swing chord - 098999
If you can barre chord use the B barre chord at the seventh
fret and then use the swing chords at the sixth and eighth
frets. If you want to change it to your key just move up
or down the guitar neck. This is really a simple song to play.
A local station played this song for over two years.
If you wish to play it in A you may capo the second fret
and still have it in the key of B. To change from
B to A here is the formula.
B - A
E - D
F# - E
Enjoy.
