Austin Lounge Lizards, Tom Rush
[Verse 1] - - - We [G] had a little quarrel, she and I.  She [C] told me just to curl up and die.  I [D] crept out to drown my sorrows.  At a joint called no tomorrows.  Where the [D] old man came and looked me in the eye . . . Old [G] Blevins
 
[Verse 2] - - - I could [G] see he had some wisdom to impart.  Some [C] story that was etched and burned and stamped upon his heart.  Then his [D] eyes began to glisten.   'Cause he could see that I would listen.  We [D] sat there at that bar 'til nearly three.  And this is what Old [G] Blevins said to me
 
{ CHORUS } - - - He said [C] "Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah [G] blah - In Tijuana [C] blah blah blah [D] back in 1963  [C] Blah blah blah blah [G] blah blah blah blah - - - You should have [D] been there blah blah blah" - - - Is what Old [C] Blevins said to [G] me
 
[Verse 3] - - - I [G] sat there and I listened to his words - - - As they [C] flapped around my head like little birds. - - - Had he [D] gone plumb 'round the bend . . . Or could I just not comprehend . . . His [C] lips were writing [D] lines I could not read.   When [G] suddenly, it all came clear to me

{ CHORUS } - - - As [C] he said "Blah blah blah blah [G] blah blah blah blah
Them crazy [C] hippies [A] blah blah blah [D] blah no effect on me. - - - [C] Blah blah blah blah [G] blah blah blah blah - - - The great depression [D] blah blah blah" - - - And [C] he would not [G] leave me be.
 
[Bridge] - - - Old [A] Blevins was still talking when I seized my chance to flee
Back [C] home she's didn't [D] know I'm not the fool I used to be
But [C] I know that a man and [G] woman's lives were somehow changed
By a [C] loathesome toothless [A] geezer, incoherent and [D] deranged
And my [C] memories of that evening fuel an [G] inner-mounting fear
That [C] I might become old [A] Blevins anywhere that they sell [D] beer
 
{ CHORUS } SEE ALT WORDS BELOW
[C] And I'll say "Blah blah blah blah [G] blah blah blah blah
I don't remember [C] blah blah blah [A] blah blah blah  - - - [D] Mistakes were made - - - [C] Blah blah blah blah [G] blah blah blah blah - - - How 'bout them [D] Cowboys? Blah blah blah" - - - Like Old [C] Blevins used to [G] say - - -  - - - [D] Old [G] Blevins

ALT WORDS:
And I'll say "Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah DONNA TAYLOR.   - - - blah blah blah FOOD SERVICE IS SO SLOW,  - - - I’ll say, Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah YEP, ADAM SAID THAT,  - - - blah blah blah Like Old Blevins said to me, Old Blevins.
