Chorus:
GCG
Honky tonkers don’t cry, we ain’t allowed
GD
We have to have a good time even when we feel down
GCG
And if a tear should fall, it’s gonna land on a smile
GDGG7
Always having a ball, honky tonkers don’t cry
CGC-GCGC-G
Cryin in a beer is commonplace around here
CGA7D
But when the sun goes down, nobody’s wearing a frown
GCG
That’s the life that we live every night
GDG
That’s the way that it is, honky tonkers don’t cry
Fiddle break
Piano break
Guitar break
Steel break
Guitar break
CGC-GCGC-G
Cryin in a beer is commonplace around here
CGA7D
But when the sun goes down, nobody’s wearing a frown
GCG
That’s the life that we live every night
GDG
That’s the way that it is, honky tonkers don’t cry
