[Verse 1]
G                                
Barney likes to smoke 'em filter-tip
D7
 cigarettes
And if he can't get a blonde then 
      G
he'll take a brunette
And all the while he's drinkin' from
   C
 a pop-top can
G                          D7
He'll be tellin' lies to a cute 
      G
redhead
                               D
With a smile on his lips and a drink
 in his hand
                               G
That's how you can always recognize 
my man
                              C
Barney's plenty ugly with his eyes 
all red

So bring him on home and I'll put

Barney wins a playin' with the dice 
that he throws
                                G
But the one-armed bandits get a lot 
of his dough
                               C
To win a game of cards well he might
 have to cheat
          G                        
But he'll give it to a buddy 
  D7          G
gettin' back on his feet
                            D7
Aw that's my Barney sittin' there 
hardly able
                               G
A braggin' he can drink us all under
 the table
                         C
I seen him a lotta times high as a 
kite
     G                   D7        
They put him in jail for tryin' to 
G
fight
