        A                                   E
Well, I got off work and headed for town to have a few

  E                                  A
Determined I would drown the pain of losing you

         A                                       D
But this couple on the dance floor were dropping quarters in a slot

         E                                    A           E
And this heartless thing kept spinning old forget-me-nots
[Chorus]
    A                          D
The jukebox played along to my misery in song

        E                              A             E
Just as if it felt the pain that I was going through

       A                                      D            Adim7
Oh, it wailed out "Crying Time" and "You Were Always On My Mind"

      E                                         A
I was singing the blues and the jukebox played along
[Interlude] E A [Verse 2]
          A                                  E
Well, the more I drank, the more it became a mystery

        E                                    A
How the men who wrote these songs wrote them just for me

               A                            D
They must have hid out in my closet or they had to read my mail

        E                                    A             E
Lord, I must have heard at least ten dollars worth of hell
[Chorus]
           A                          D
'cause the jukebox played along to my misery in song

        E                              A             E
Just as if it felt the pain that I was going through

   A                                D                 Adim7
It played "I'm Born To Lose" and "I Can't Stop Loving You"

      E                                         A
I was singing the blues and the jukebox played along
[Outro]
E                               A
   They played Watson and Jones, Travis kept picking up bones

E                              A
   "Somebody Lied" and "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry"

E                             A
   "There Goes My Everything", they played "Golden Rings"

E                               A
   They played Haggard and Hank, give me another drink

E                          A
   Farewell, parting stuff, Lord, I think I've had enough...
