[Verse 1]
A
Well, it won't be long now
D A
Until that ol' sun goes down
A E
And darkness helps me hide my shameful tears
A
My wife works all night long
D A
For a man who's halfway gone
A E A
She's a barmaid in the honky tonk downstairs
[Chorus]
D
It's a shame she wears the name
A
Of a man who's locked and chained
A D A E
To a bottle that's destroyed all hopes and cares
A
To the men with hungry eyes
D A
She works and hides her pride
A E A
She's a barmaid in the honky tonk downstairs
[Instrumental]

It's a shame she wears the name

Of a man who's locked and chained

To a bottle that's destroyed all hopes and cares

She works and hides her pride

She's a barmaid in the honky tonk downstairs
