THERE'S A TEAR IN MY BEER
(Hank Williams)

  A7       D
There's a tear in my beer

'Cause I'm cryin' for you, dear.
A7
You are on my lonely mind.

Into these last nine beers

I have shed a million tears.
D D7
You are on my lonely mind.
G
I'm gonna keep on sittin' here
D
Until I'm petrified,
E7 A7
And then maybe these tears

Will leave my eyes.
D
There's a tear in my beer

'Cause I'm crying for you, dear
E7 A7 D Fdim A7
You are on my lonely mind.

Last night I walked the floor
And the night before
You are on my lonely mind.
It seems my life is through
And I'm so dog-gone blue.
You are on my lonely mind.
I'm gonna keep on sittin' here
Till I can't move a toe,
And then maybe my heart
Won't hurt me so.
There's a tear in my beer
'Cause I'm cryin' for you, dear.
You are on my lonely mind.
