[Intro] D D D/C D/C D D D/C D/C D D D/C D/C D D D D {Verse 1]
  D        D          D/C      D/C
I cried my tears in a glass of tequila

      D          D            D/C      D/C
For a truck-stop honey with a dubious name

    D       D            D/C       D/C
She held my heart like a blackjack dealer

        D       D            D/C      D/C
And she took my money when I left the game

        G                                        D
She was overly fond of sophisticated messing around

           A                         G7                  D
I've had a bellyful of living on the same old merry-go-round
[Verse 2]
       D            D              D/C         D/C
Well I played in the Summer and I froze in the Winter

      D                D           D/C    D/C
And I hankered for the high school beauty queen

        D            D          D/C    D/C
She was married to a rich young timber-miller

    D            D                D        D
And Christened a boy when she was just nineteen

G                               D
Crazy love, never gonna settle down

           A                         G7                  D
I've had a bellyful of loving on the same old merry-go-round
[Verse 3]
     D    D              D/C        D/C
Like any man I've got to work for a living

        D        D           D/C     D/C
Just to earn my soul for the weekend show

D          D             D/C         D/C
Saturday morning I'll be down by the river

         D             D          D    D
Getting whipped at the Copmanhurst rodeo

          G                                       D
When the weekend comes I'm gonna set fire to the town

           A                         G7                  D
I've had a bellyful of working on the same old merry-go-round

[Guitar Solo 1] G G D D A G7 D D G G D D A G7 D D [Verse 3]
    D       D           D/C     D/C
I'm looking out as the sun goes down

         D      D         D/C        D/C
Drinking Bundaburg at the end of the day

    D      D             D/C    D/C
I'm twenty-five and only half alive

        D       D           D/C      D/C
And the rest is only just a ticket away

G                                      D
Give me a ticket, take me to a city hotel

           A                         G7                  D
I've had a bellyful of living on the same old merry-go-round
[Outro]
