Honky Tonk Merry Go Round Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][Em][A][D]

[Verse 1]
[D]She [Bm]stood [D]there with
tears in her [G]beautiful eyes,
said the [A]closest she'd be was [D]around[A]
And [D]now she was leaving,
cause [G]she couldn't fight
My [A]honky -tonk merry -go [D]-round
[Bm]If i[D]t was a woman,
she'd [G]know what to do
But she [A]couldn't take being put [D]down
[A]Buy bot[D]tles and barrooms
[G]night after night
On my [A]honky -tonk merry -go [D]-round
Cause my [G]paycheck still buys tickets
that [D]come in flip -top cans
My [E]silver dimes still strike up
[Em]that [A]old jukebox band
Where [G]once rode a king,
now a [D]sad lonely [B]clown
Is [Em]riding a [A]honky -tonk merry
-go [D]-round[Em][A][D]
[Bm]So s[D]he left me and I thought,
well, [G]maybe that's good
I [A]won't feel so guilty tonight
[D]But[A] someho[D]w, somewhere,
[G]something went wrong
With [A]my complete honky -tonk [D]line
[Em]Cost [D]my pay[G]check, still buys tickets
That [D]come in flip -top cans
My [E]silver dimes still strike up
That [A]old jukebox band
Where [G]once rode a king
Now [D]sad, lonely [B]clown
It's [Em]ridin' a [A]honky -tonk
merry -go [D]-round
[B]It's [Em]ridin' a [A]honky -tonk

[Outro 1]
merry -go -round
[D][G][D][Em][D]
