tabbed by: Mike Bacon email: mmmbacon914@gmail.com http://www.andyfriedman.net/home.html There weren't any lyrics online, so I had to listen myself. If you have any corrections for the parts I couldn't understand,a comment or email would be appreciated. Tuning: Standard (EADGBe) This strumming pattern is repeated throughout the whole song 1 2+3+4+1 2+3+4+ G C D G --333333--333333--000000--000000--222222--222222--333333--333333|| --333333--333333--111111--111111--333333--333333--333333--333333|| --000000--000000--000000--000000--222222--222222--000000--000000|| --000000--000000--222222--2222220-------0---------000000--000000|| --222222--2222223-------3-------------------------222222--222222|| 3-------3---------------------------------------3-------3-------|| G I took a walk down to Freddy's Bar C While my wife and kid were asleep D I used to go there almost every night G When I was young and free G Not that I'm unfairly constrained C Held against my will D But this is back when it didn't matter G What time I stayed out until G C Now it matters, because my son gets me up at 5am each day D G And you don't argue with someone who's got their finger in your eye G Freddy's has a backroom C To play music in, or to listen D G Buzzers on the wall beneath icing thick paint that dates back to prohibition G C Tin ceilings bear that wedding cake pattern that the stage lights interrupt D G Pair of TV's playing day-long video collages that Donald dreamed up G Donald runs the place C He gave me a shot on the way in the other night D He always does,and he always did G It's what makes Freddy's feel right G C Whenever I'm on the fence, about whether that walk is just too far D I think about what night it is G And whether it's Donald's night at the bar G When they move the pool tables out of the way C And the TV's lose their glow D They start playing music in Freddy's Backroom G And the people start to show G You could be a sharp backup singer C Who smells like coconut [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/a/andy-friedman/268515.html ] D Or avant-garde Jersey Jazz trio G Who by day smells like Pizza Hut G C Everything outta that back room sounds like its coming out of an old tube radio D Either out by the curb or by the kitchen sink G And mean to play what Freddy's got G My favorite record cover, or one of em, anyway, C Is Jerry Jeff Walker D "It's a Good Night for Singin" G And the Backroom sorta reminds me of that cover G You got people laughing, people dancing C People with funny hats D Some in denim, some in leather G Or Fort Park Boy-high-low aristocrats(?) G Yeah, The back room reminds me of that cover C In every way, by and large D When I threw down that shot G I started thinking about how Freddy's is going to be a parking garage G C Yep, someday soon there'll be something in the space that occupies the bubbling fishtank D G Maybe a tailpipe or a row of fluorescent lights G A styrofoam cup C Or a pair of keys hanging from a Dickies belt-loop D G Some fastfood trash, or maybe a staircase, or a bright yellow mazda coupe G C Someday soon there'll be something in the place where Freddy himself is sure to show D G A wax statue at the end of the bar drinking Fontera like it was just opened 2 weeks ago G The Ram's skeleton above the bar in the powder blue wig C Or the dented paper towel dispenser D The pink ladies' room sign G And the naked man painting by Donald out near the exit G Maybe the garage will have showers for their workers C D And a real naked man will fit right into that space G Maybe Freddy's prediction... G All it makes room for is songs like these C Sometimes there's no positive inner meaning D All it makes room for is songs like these G and "It's a Good Night for Singin" x2 Let's sing G They're gonna tear down Freddy's C They're gonna tear down Hank's saloon D G Like crickets under rocks, we're all gonna hop to Bennigan's backroom x4  |
