1.I'm tired of sittng home, sick of being all alone
                              C
  Thought I'd just go for a drive
  D
  I was headed downtown, when I did me a turnaround
                       G
  When I saw the neon sign
   
  Happy hour two for one, sounded like a lot of fun
                           C 
  So I stopped and went inside
  D
  The next thing that I knew, I was sittin' on a barstool
                         G
  Having the time of my life

  G                                                  C
C.Well, I had more silver bullets last night than the Lone Ranger
          D                                                            G
  I was shootin' 'em down like I didn't have a care, ignoring all the danger
    G                                                            C
  Bless my soul this morning I awoke in the arms of a perfect stranger
    D                                                   G 
  I had more silver bullets last night than the Lone Ranger

2.Did I fail to mention it wasn't my intention
  To stay out all night long
  I was gonna have a few but one round led to two
  Next thing I knew I was gone
  Well here's where I draw a blank, the band was playin' Hank
  She rode in to save the day
  And all I remember were kisses sweet and tender
  And hi yo silver away

C.
