Chorus:
                    G   C           G
Honky tonkers don’t cry, we ain’t allowed
G                                             D 
We have to have a good time even when we feel down
                     G    C                     G
And if a tear should fall, it’s gonna land on a smile
G                     D                   G     G7
Always having a ball, honky tonkers don’t cry


C          G (C-G) C                     G   (C-G)
Cryin in a beer    is commonplace around here
C                     G     A7                 D
But when the sun goes down, nobody’s wearing a frown
                        G    C     G 
That’s the life that we live every night
                       G   D                   G
That’s the way that it is, honky tonkers don’t cry
