Strum
D-DU-UDU
 x = Mute string
 It must  be hard ringing  the bells
 Of doors  that don't swing wide  anymore
 It must be hard hearing  the sound
 Of voices  just inside  of the door
 A man  who couldn't hold  your coat
 Who's hung  on every anicdote
 So it must  be hard watching  the fellows gloat
 Ballantines
 It must  be hard seeing  the same old crowd
 Just pass you by  in the street
 It must be tough knowing  your stuff
 Could only  horrify  the elite
 You cut  off everyone  you know
Boy  you tell `em all where  to go
 Now it must  be hard getting  the same heave-ho
 Ballantines
 Well, patrons  at the bar in Lexington  Kentucky
 Who sprung  for every drink you downed
 With things  the way they are it's not  that kind of party
 If what  you've got might just be good
 (Do do do...)
 And fuck-ups  won't be getting thin
Seeing  the kind of jam  you're in
 Though the angels  dance on the head  of another pin
 Ballantines
 Ballantines
 Ballant-i-i-ines
