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
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
