Chorus:
D                                                                         A
Sittin' on a bar stool actin' like a durn fool, that's what I'm a-doin' today
A                                                                             D
Sittin' her drinkin' tryin' to keep from thinkin', I'm a-boozin' my troubles away
         D                                                                               G  
Well now I couldn't make her stay, well, doggone her anyway, she can't say that I didn't try
   A                                                                              D
So pour me another one, I’m finished with the other one, I'm drinkin' my baby goodbye 


D                                                                  A
Everytime we disagreed she was always askin' me “Are you a man or a mouse”
A                                                                         D
Now that she's gone she probably thinks I'm home Just a mopin' around the house
D                                                                          A
She probably thinks that she's the one thing I just couldn't get along without
      A                                                                          D
Well, wouldn't it surprise her I got a sympathizer as long as these bottles hold out


Chorus

Fiddle solo

Every time I try to sit down and talk to her, It always ends up in a fuss
I tried to reason with her right up to the time she got on that Greyhound bus
It’d be better if I could forget her 'cause she sure forgot about me
And if takes all night I'm gonna' do it right, I'm gonna' sit here till I can't see


Chorus


Change to Key of E

Chorus
E                                                                         B
Sittin' on a bar stool actin' like a durn fool, that's what I'm a-doin' today
B                                                                             E
Sittin' her drinkin' tryin' to keep from thinkin', I'm a-boozin' my troubles away
         E                                                                               A
Well now I couldn't make her stay, well, doggone her anyway, she can't say that I didn't try
   B                                                                              E
So pour me another one, I’m finished with the other one, I'm drinkin' my baby goodbye
