          BAR LIGHT   Charlie Robison 

        A                                  D

Well, when I was young my momma read me  Nursery rhythms beside my bed

      A                                   E

And though they sounded mighty fine they made no sense to me

A                              D             

Now that I'm all grown up it seems life has changed and such

A                                  E              A 

So I went out and made me up a nursery rythmn for me



CHORUS:



It goes

A                      D 

Bar Light Bar Bright first bar that I see tonight

A                        E

Wish I may Wish I might find someone to hold me tight

      A             

Hey diddle diddle the man with the fiddle

          D

And the girls sing along with the tunes

A         

Just-a one more dance till ya turn out the lights

              E               A

And you can shut down this saloon   

                   D                     A

Ending:  I said, Just-a one more dance, till you turn out the lights

                       E               A    A A A A

         And you can shut down this saloon





     A 

2.) You know I never understood how that big ole gal

        D

Could raise those kids in a shoe

A

And any old Jack goes jumping a candle 

          E

needs to find something better to do

     A                                      D

And rub a dub dub three men in a tub sure sounds kind of funny to me

      A                                                E             A

So I made up a honky tonk nursery rythmn and it's the only one I'll say



Go to chorus, lead, repeat 2nd verse, chorus, ending.
