The Ballad of the Barfly: A Sticky Situation (Literally)
This toe-tappin' country classic, belted out by the one and only Jerry Lee Lewis (the man, the myth, the piano legend!), tells the tale of a fella caught in a classic conundrum: sweetheart at home or another round with the boys? Spoiler alert: the bar wins (at least for a while).
Here's a taste of the lyrics (and a chance to test your inner musician!):
QuickTip: Revisit key lines for better recall.
- (C) It's late and she's waiting, (F) And I know I should go home. (This is where the trouble begins!)
- (C) But every time I (F) start to leave, (D7) They play another (G7) song. (Uh oh, the siren song of the saloon!)
- (Underline this whole line) What's Made Milwaukee Famous Has made a fool out of me. (There it is! The money line!)
For the full scoop on the lyrics and chords, you can strum along with Jerry Lee himself (virtually, of course) by searching online.
