Robbie Fulks  The Buck Starts Here written By Robbie Fulks   


E B E    
  
E                       A 
I never knew this place had so much empty space    
E                                          
Until tonight
                              B7
When you walked right out the door 
E                              A 
And so I walked to our bedside and pulled out that 45        
E                     B7                E 
That laid for years behind our chest of drawers
E     
At first it looked too worn to play, 
A
The label all but washed away 
E                                  B7
Then I made out the name of my old friend 
E
Thirty years and a scratch or two 
A
But when the needle hit the groove 
E             B7          E
I knew it was crying time again   
                 A 
The Buck starts here                    
                  E 
With Hank sure to follow                       
                     B7
Turn him up loud and clear                  
                A    E
He's singing my sorrow                       
                       A
Let the sad songs roll on                               
                            E
Through a house filled with tears                           
                        B7 
Where the good times is gone                   
                E 
The Buck starts here

SOLO     

E
The people in the house next door 
A
think I'm tearing up the floor 
E
It's half past four 
                      B
My lights are burning bright 
E
But this occasion's no big deal 
A
It's just some boys from Bakersfield 
E                  B7                  E 
Who came around to help me through the night
                 A 
The Buck starts here                    
                  E 
With Hank sure to follow                       
                     B7
Turn him up loud and clear                  
                A    E
He's singing my sorrow                       
                       A
Let the sad songs roll on                               
                            E
Through a house filled with tears                           
                        B7 
Where the good times is gone                   
                E
