 Good Time Charlie's Got the Blues
 Written by Danny O'Keefe
 Performed by Dwight Yoakum on "Under the Covers" CD
 Transcribed by Keith Reding
 Personally I like the original version better than Dwight's version.  The
 chords, however, are from the Dwight CD.  I do not know what key it was
 done originally.  It sounds great if you develop a picking pattern for the
 chords since it is a relatively slow song.  Here is an the picking patter I
 use.  
 
 * = 1 beat in 4/4 time. Each space is a 1/16 note.  Tempo is about 70 - 80
 beats per minute.
 G
   *   *   *   *   
 e-----------------|
 B-----0-----------|
 G-----0-----------|   Repeat 1X
 D-------0h2-0----0|
 A----2--------0h2-|
 E-3---------------|
 
 C
   *   *   *   *   
 e------------------|
 B-----0------------|
 G-----0-0h2-0-----0|   Repeat 1X
 D---2----------0h2-|

 NC                    G
 Everybody gone away
                         C
 Said they're moving' to LA
                            D
 There's not a Soul I know around
                     G
 Everybody's leavin' town
 
                                     G
 Some caught a freight some caught a plane
                             C
 find the sunshine leave the rain
                                    D
 they say this town will waste your time
                                 G
 I guess they're right it wasted mine
 
 Chorus
 G (one strum)                Am (one strum)
 Some got to win, some got to lose
 D                           G
 Good Time Charlie's got the blues
 D                          G
 Good Time Charlie's got the blues
 
 
 Verse 3
 
                         G
 Everybody keeps tellin' me
                     C
 You're not a kid a 33
                                   D
 You play around you'll lose your wife
                                    G
 You play too long you'll lose your life
 
 
 Verse 4 
                           G
 Got my pills to ease the pain
                                 C
 Can't find a thing to stop the rain
                            D
 I'd like tryin' to settle down
                         G
 But everybody's leavin' town.
 
 Repeat Chorus
