Fun While It Lasted

GB7CG
I met her one evenin' in a barroom downtown
GA7D
She was the picture of truth
GB7CG
Her shoulders were saggin', her head was bowed down
A7D
Like me she was livin' the blues
When the music had ended and the crowd dwindled down
And we were the last lonely two
We left with each other when nothin' was left
And nothin' left better to do
Chorus:
GB7CG
And it was fun while it lasted but it didn't last long
GA7D
Before we knew it the thrill was all gone
GB7CG
And we both wound up singin' the same lonesome song
GDG
It was fun while it lasted, but it didn't last long
I had a woman and she had a man
Before we both lost it all
When I thought of her that's when she thought of him
And I never could stand that thought
Chorus
