[Verse 1]
  C                     F
I work on the mountain, cuttin' the timber
  C                        G
I work 'til my fingers are sore
C                       F
Cuttin' the timber that goes through the sawmill
   C             G          C
To build another honky tonk bar
      G                        C
While down in the valley she's spendin' my money
    F                      G
And havin' herself quite a ball
C                   F
Spendin' my money I earn at the sawmill
   C             G          C
To build another honky tonk bar

[Verse 2]
C                      F
Early each mornin' I'm back on that mountain
C                         G
Wishin' her lies were the truth
C                       F
Cuttin' the timber that goes through the sawmill
   C             G          C
To build another honky tonk bar
    G                      C
But tonight's all over I'm through cutting timber
  F                         G
I know just where she'll be found
     C                        F
I'll look through the window, if she's still in there
      C            G          C
Gonna burn another honky tonk down

Yes tonight's all over, I'm through cutting timber
  F                         G
I know just where she'll be found
     C                        F
I'll look through the window, if she's still in there
      C            G          C
Gonna burn another honky tonk down
     C                        F
I'll look through the window, if she's still in there
      C            G          F
Gonna burn another honky tonk down
