[Verse 1]
A
She's there at the bar every evening,
A                                E
Face powdered and cheeks painted red.
E   A
Her beauty has faded too early,
A                 E               A  A7
Brought on by the fast life she's led.


[Chorus]
A     D                      A
She's more to be pitied than scolded.
A                          E
She needs to be loved, not despised.
E                 A         D         A
Too much beer and wine, too many good times,
A                          E                 A
The lure of the honky-tonk wrecked her young life.


[Verse 2]
A
She once was the bell of the ballroom.
A                                E   E7
She'd have made some man a sweet wife,
E   A
But too many parties and the wrong kind of pals
A          E7          A
Ruined her happy young life.


[Chorus]
A     D                      A
She's more to be pitied than scolded.
A                          E
She needs to be loved, not despised.
E                 A         D         A
Too much beer and wine, too many good times,
A                          E                 A
The lure of the honky-tonk wrecked her young life.


[Otro]
E                 A         D         A
Too much beer and wine, too many good times,
A                          E                 A
The lure of the honky-tonk wrecked her young life.
