[C]The door was open I was [G]seething
Your mother [C]burst in it was [F]freezing
She said it [C]looks like it's [G]trying to [C]rain

{ci: Bridge 1}
I scolded your [F]driver and your brother

Someone gets hauled in handcuffed and [C]booked [G]

Turned [C]out to be [G]just what it [C]was

[C]Then came the [F]sirens
And [C]everyone [G]started to [C]cuss

And I made black coffee
And I dumped out the rest of the [C]rum [G]

[F]Should [C]auld acquaintance [G]be forgot
And [C]never brought to [F]mind
Should [C]auld acquaintance [G]be forgot
For the [Am]sake of [G]auld lang [C]syne

{ci: Verse 7}
I was [F]leaving in the morning with Charles for Las Vegas

I had only a [F]few things
Two hundred dollars and my records in a brown paper [C]sack [G]

[C]I ran out on [G]Sheila
[C]Everything's in [F]storage
Calvin's [C]right I should go [G]back to driving [C]truck

And [C]never brought to [F]mind
Should [C]auld acquaintance [G]be forgot
For the [Am]sake of [G]auld lang [C]syne
