G G7
Well, it won't be long now
C G
Untill that old sun goes down
D7
And darkness helps me hide my shameful tears
G G7
My wife works all night long
C G
For a man who's halfway gone
D7 G
She's the barmaid in the honky-tonk downstairs
[Interlude]
G A B C Walk up to C
[Chorus]
C
It's a shame she wears the name
G
Of a man who's locked and chained
C G D7
To a bottle that's destroying all hopes and cares
G
To the men with hungry eyes
C G
She works and hides her pride
D7 G
She's the barmaid in the honky-tonk downstairs
[Solo]
