 just strum C a bunch of times, listen to the song for the pattern
 (all the verses follow the same exact pattern except the last one ends
 slightly differently.)
 We're goin' out  tonight  my son,
 So bring your flask,  And bring your cross,  And bring your gun
 And I've been borrowin'  lots of cash  so you won't  be needin' none
 Just wear your good  shoes 'Cause we're goin'  out my son
 And I got a car loaded up with gas and parked right outside
 I got a city map and a mission in my mind
 I just need someone ridin' with me or a brother to my right
 To keep me company in that big ol' car outside
 'Cause I don't wanna think about the world right now
 I wanna go from bar-to-bar and wash the taste clean out
 And I wanna feel the way I felt when we were kids messin' around
 Before I thought about the world I got to now
 But don't go feelin' all stuck and shamed for yr damned ol' dad
 'Cause I've seen troubles that could kill ten stronger men
 It's just that all this weight from la-la-livin's been catchin' fire in my hands
 Well, fuck this town son,I wanna make 'em crawl again
 Last verse is palm muted
 And you tell your lady  not to leave  on that light
 You tell her not to sit  up worryin' all  goddamn night
 But if she's awake  when you crawl home  you just shut your mouth  and smile
nice.  You say Baby, I'm tired.  Can we please turn  off those lights?
 You say Baby, I'm tired.  I just wanna shut  off all those lights.
