     G                 G7            C               G  
I've heard some mixed opinions 'bout whiskey, wine & beer 
  G                                 A7               D  
I went to school at Honky Tonk U so let me clear the air
C                D          G                      C  
Wine don't sneak up on you, whiskey don't make you mean
G                   D                 G
Beer don't make you fat, it makes you lean


Chorus:
      C
Yeah, lean on the table, lean on the bar 
    G
You lean on your buddies stumblin out to the car
    A7
You lean on your woman while she drives you home 
    D
You lean, lean, lean til you're beer & bones
              C                 D                   Em   C
Don't let 'em feed you no lies about too many calories 
            G                                         D              G
They say it makes you fat but it's a honky-tonk fact, beer makes you lean


Well I put my scars on my guitar when I used it for a crutch 
And when I'm shot, that old juke box helps to prop me up 
I stood tall against the wall at 45 degrees 
No, beer don't make you fat, it makes you lean


Chorus

Fiddle solo


Don't let 'em feed you no lies about too many calories 
They say it makes you fat but it's a honky-tonk fact, beer makes you lean.


Oh, I'll drink to that, it'll make you fat 
Beer makes you lean . . . on everything
