G                                 C
The lights are dim and low in the tavern 

     G                                 D7
As I sit all alone with a heart that's lost

         G                                  C
But the laughing crowd don't know tears are ready to flow

     G             D7         G
As I listen to the Honky Tonk Waltz

 
 
         D7                          G
It's the same waltz we used to dance together
 
           D7                   G
Now you're gone and I'll suffer alone 

                          C
I'm so blue tonight while another holds you tight
 
      G             D7         G
And I listen to the honky tonk waltz


   
G                          C
There's no use to go to my lonely room
 
        G                        D7
I can't sleep I'll just turn and toss
 
            G                            C
So when the crowd says goodbye I'll just sit here and cry
 
     G             D7         G
As I listen to the Honky Tonk Waltz

 
 
         D7                          G
It's the same waltz we used to dance together 

           D7                   G
Now you're gone and I'll suffer alone
 
                          C
I'm so blue tonight while another holds you tight
 
      G             D7         G
And I listen to the honky tonk waltz
