Verse

Am              E
Now I've got my payment
        Am      E      Am    E
For the service that I gave
        Am          E
They've given me my ticket
        C       G        C
To this place beyond the grave
  Dm                   G
I suppose it's kind of funny
  Am           G       F   E
I suppose it's kind of sad
Am               E                Am   E  Am
Thinking back on all the times we had


Chorus

Am                       E
But it's kind of hot and smoky
        Am    E     Am   E
In this anteroom to hell
      Am              E
And I won't make up a story
           C        G        C
'Cause you know the truth so well
     Dm               G
It's much too late to worry
        Am    G     F      E
That we never had a chance
    Am                    E
And when Joe the Georgian gets here
        Am     E   *Am
We will dance

(In one chorus, the last two lines are repeated: the first time
around, *Am is changed to Dm, and the word dance is sung over
E and Dm).
