Introdução: Am7 C9 C C/B Am7 E7 Em7 A7 
 
      D      D9 D   Am7 
It's quarter to three     
        D  D9  D Dsus4 Am   Am7    
There's no one in the place except  
D   D9   D  Am7 
You and me 
     D   D9 D   Am7   
So, set 'em up, Joe  
  D  D9  D Dsus4 Am Am7   
I got a little story  
D   D9  D  Am7   D  D7M  D7 
You oughta know 
       G             F7    G      F7 
We're drinkin', my friend 
  Em7   D    A7  G/B   B7 
To the end of a brief episode  
        G   G/F#   Em7        
Make it one for my baby  
G  G/F# G/B    A7       D    
And one more for the road 
      G           Dm6 
I got the routine  
   G            Dm6   Am7 G          Dm6   G  Dm6 
So drop another nickel in the machine 
   G            Dm6   
I feel kind  a bad  
     G                  Am7  Dm6  G          Dm6   G  G7M G7 G6 
Wish you'd make the music  pretty and sad 
       C         C9    C    
Could tell you a lot  
    C9  Am7     G Am7  Edim    E7 
But it's not in the gentleman's code 
         A7  Em7      A7        C  
So, make it one for my baby  
  Em7  Edim  Am7  G 
And one more for the road 
Bridge  
 Am7               C9                 Am7 
You'd never know it but buddy  
                    D9      
I'm a kind of poet 
     G              G7M           G7 
And I got a lot of things to say 
Am7           C9                
And when I'm gloomy  
 
C      C/B           Am7  E7        Em7        A7 
You gotta  listen to me  till it's all talked away 
      G           Dm6                G    
Well that's how it goes, and Joe 
               Dm6     Am7   G           Dm6   G  Dm6 
I know you're gettin' pretty anxious to close 
        D                  Dm6    
So, thanks for the cheer 
      G            Dm6  Am7 G        Dm6  G  G7M  G7 
I hope you didn't mind my bendin' your ear 
      C            C9    Am7     G/B      
This torch that I found must be  
        Am7     G     Am7  Edim   E7 
Drowned or it soon might explode 
            A7  Em7     A7       C   
So, make it one for my baby  
   Em7 Edim Am7  E7   F7  E7 
And one more for the road 
     A7   Edim  Am7   G#7   G   Am7  A7  D9 Am7 G 
That long,     long        road
