Chorus (slow):
Bb           G
The barstool rodeo's in town
Bb         G
All of our friends will be going down
Bb            G
Might catch a ride downtown tonight
Bb             G
If you want to go downtown

[Mike sings:]
Verse 1 (normal pace):
A                 G#              A
The only place to hang out is the sandbox
G#              A
Bury things you don't want
G#                 A
Pick up things you do want
G#                 F#
The sun is on your face

Verse 2:
I'm in love with a girl that I met in a bar
She's brought me this far now
Such a beautiful face
And I know I'm in the right place

Verse 3:
So won't you come with me now girl
We're gonna show the world
How a candle and wine
Can bring a song to mind

Chorus:
Bb           G
The barstool rodeo's in town
Bb         G
All of our friends will be going down
Bb            G
Might catch a ride downtown tonight
Bb                      G
Hey girl do you want to go downtown tonight

Verse 4:
Well it's so hard for me to say
But that's just for today now
When it gets dark I'll find
That I can speak my mind

Verse 5:
This town has always been my friend
Guess I'll try it again now
To get that number right
So I can hold that line

Chorus:
The barstool rodeo's in town
All of our friends will be going down
Hey there we might catch a ride downtown tonight
Hey girl do you want to go downtown tonight

Jam over E > G for 8 measures.

Verse 6:
The only place to hang out is the sandbox
Bury things you don't want
Pick up things you do want
The sun is on your face

Verse 7:
I'm in love with a girl that I met in a bar
She's brought me this far yeah
And all I did was say
Can I buy you a drink?

Chorus:
And the barstool rodeo's in town
All of our friends will be going down
Might catch a ride downtown tonight
Hey girl do you want to go downtown tonight
Hey girl do you want to go downtown tonight
Hey girl do you want to go downtown tonight
Hey girl do you want to go downtown tonight

Well, that's the smile that I like  (abrupt ending)
