[Intro] A E D A [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

To a bottle that's destroyed all hopes and cares
