LAST SIX DOLLARS	Fred J. Eaglesmith

(Key of E, played from open C position with capo at the 4th fret)

C'''

          C
Well, the lights go up and the curtain goes down
     F
It's like an old romance without any sound
    C                                                  G
You don't get the story, but the heartache still comes through
     C
And, right or wrong, it never comes up it seems,
     F
Just taken for granted with the girl of your dreams
    C             G                  C
And I guess I was taken for granted, too.

Chorus:
           F
I spent my last six dollars on a bottle of whisky,
      C
Drove out past your place, but that was just wishful thinking
F                                   C
You were there but you had somebody new.
      F
And I sat and I watched the sun set on the hill.
         C
Ain't it funny how you're sure that time's standing still,
          G                                     C
While the world keeps moving round and round on you.

And you must have heard the sound of the truck,
'Cause the lights went back down and I saw you get up,
But I drove away: tell me what else could I do?
And I wish we all had a tiny compartment,
A little black box where we could put our heartaches,
'Cause I'd lock mine in and I'd give the key to you.

(Chorus)

(Instrumental)

(Chorus)

And the lights go up and the curtains go down.
It's like an old romance without any sound.
    C                            G                     C
You don't get the story, but the heartache still comes through.
