Intro.:  |(D) |(A) |(D) |(D)---

(Chorus)
As the honky tonk (D)turns (A) and the world goes (D)'round
I'll be sittin' on a bar stool, (A) pourin' cold ones (D) down
Watchin' (D7)hearts get (G)broken from hard lessons they've (D) learned
It's just a typical (A)evenin' as the honky tonk (D) turns

Ol' (D)Frank always (A)plays the same ol' (D)song
And sometimes he even thinks (A) that he's George (D) Jones (D7)
But it (G)tears ol' Lester up to hear that (D)jukebox play his life
And he'll (E)tell us once again just (A)how he lost his wife

(Chorus)
As the honky tonk (D)turns (A) and the world goes (D)'round
I'll be sittin' on a bar stool, (A) pourin' cold ones (D) down
Watchin' (D7)hearts get (G)broken from hard lessons they've (D) learned
It's just a typical (A)evenin' as the honky tonk (D) turns (D7)

Inst.:  |(G) |(G) |(D) |(D) |(D) |(A) |(D) |(D)

Last (D)night I watched Char-(A)lene fall in (D) love
For the third time this (A)week that I know (D) of (D7)
But to-(G)night she'll be here feeling (D)sorry for herself
Drinkin' (E)like there's no tomorrow and leanin' (A)on somebody else

(Chorus)
As the honky tonk (D)turns (A) and the world goes (D)'round
I'll be sittin' on a bar stool, (A) pourin' cold ones (D) down
Watchin' (D7)hearts get (G)broken from hard lessons they've (D) learned
It's just a typical (A)evenin' as the honky tonk (D) turns (D7)
