Honky Tonk Downstairs Chords

(ver. 1)
George Strait
The intro was easy for me but ya'll might want to look up this song and listen to the intro.


Intro G G G-C G G G G G G G-C G 

 G 
Well, it won't be long now 
           C           G 
Til that 'ol sun goes down 
                                         D 
And darkness helps me hide my shameful tears. 
    G 
My wife works all night long 
       C                 G 
For a man who's halfway gone 
                           D             G 
She's the barmaid in the honky-tonk downstairs. 
         C 
It's a shame she wears the name 
      G 
Of a man who's locked and chained 
                                         D 
To a bottle that's destroyin' all hopes and cares. 
        G 
To the men with hungry eyes 
      C                   G 
She works and hides her pride 
                           D             G 
She's the barmaid in the honky-tonk downstairs. 

G C G D G  
         C 
It's a shame she wears the name 
      G 
Of a man who's locked and chained 
                                         D 
To a bottle that's destroyin' all hopes and cares. 
        G 
To the men with hungry eyes 
      C                   G 
She works and hides her pride 
                           D             G 
She's the barmaid in the honky-tonk downstairs. 
                           D             C          G 
She's the barmaid in the honky-tonk downstairs.
