Tonight Ill Take What I Can Get Acoustic chords

Tonight Ill Take What I Can Get Acoustic

• C

The other 2 tabs were sort of right... but they were using wrong chords, and the timing 
all weird on them, but to me this sounds 100% perfect

Chords Used (different variations)  I'm also not 100% sure what some of the chords are 
here they are

The progression of chords in the chorus is super-fast and he changes the chord with 
word...trust me, this is accurate, just learn the strumming.

INTRO
C, G, Am, F, G, C  X1


VERSE 1
C                  G
I've got my eye on top shelf liquor,
     Am
With taste so smooth it

Hits you quicker.
    F           G       C
But you've only got the well.
    C                   G
And I've got an eye for top tier women
     Am
With legs so long they go straight to heaven,
    F              G          C
But this old bunch looks like hell.


CHORUS
    F       C    G    Am   F G   C
But tonight I'll take what I can get.


VERSE 2
C                  G
I'd like to hear a great musician
     Am
With strange ideas and grand ambition,
    F                  G            C
But this guy, he's got trouble with chords.
    C                 G
And I'd like to leave this game a winner
Am
Head held high, the luck of beginners
    F               G               C
But this old losers crawling out on all fours.


CHORUS
    F       C    G    Am   F G   C
But tonight I'll take what I can get.


BRIDGE
     Am
Well this drink will do,
    F
And girl you look all right,
    C                         G
And this band is playing like hell tonight.
Am
These dice are loaded
    F
And Lord I am too
C                         G
I might be losing but I'm leaving soon.
         Am
With the prettiest girl
   F
To enter this dump,
          C                          G
She drank all of the whiskey but she left me the rum
    Am           F         C G   C   (little different than the main chorus)
And tonight I'll take what I can get


VERSE 3
C                     G
I've got my sights on brand new beginnings
Am
Brand new starts make saints of sinners
F                 G          C
But I'm doomed to live in my past
C                        G
Live nude girls says the sign out front,
    Am
But old dead dreams are dancing in front,
   F                      G
Of old dead dreamers with washed up luck,
       C
Buying love for cash


CHORUS
     F       C    G    Am   F G   C
Well tonight I'll take what I can get.


VERSE 4
C                   G
This old story gets stale and dry,
   Am
No matter how I try and try to
F               G         C
Spin this fable fresh and new
C
You strung me along
       G
Like a tease on prom night
Am
Getting me loose but leaving me uptight
F
Please tell me that
G                     C
Some of that love was true.


CHORUS
F       C    G    Am   F G   C
Tonight I'll take what I can get


BRIDGE
Am
Well this drink will do,
    F
And girl you look all right,
    C                         G
And this band is playing like hell tonight.
Am
These dice are loaded
    F
And Lord I am too
C                         G
I might be losing but I'm leaving soon.
         Am
With the prettiest girl
   F
To enter this dump,
          C                          G
She drank all of the whiskey but she left me the rum
    Am           F         C G   C
And tonight I'll take what I can get.

Tonight I'll take what I can get
