[G] But you're married [C] and a home-grown bar
[G] They set their [Am] vows on a six-string [F] steel guitar
He [Am] didn't love her the moment [Gm] he saw her
All [F] them years ago at [G] the livestock show
So he's [C] just a rodeo [G] clown
He ain't much [Am] but the biggest damn [F] fool in town
_ [Am] Now his best [G] man he couldn't come around
So he [F] died a month ago down [G] in Mexico
[F] Shot _ glass [G] and booze
[Am] A broken old [C] _ room
[F] He's fighting over [G] there for his stools
And getting married [C] in a honky-tonk [G] bar _ _ _

[G] He threw some hay [Am] in the bed
So that [F] they might stay up all night
[Am] Alive with the [A] stars and the [Em] moonlight
And [F] all the new emperors in [G] the crazy light
So [C] let the three-legged [G] dog be hung
And [Am] let the cows moo so they can [F] grow _ _
