  			 A7       D  
There's a tear in my beer  
 
'cause I'm cryin' for you, 
                          A7 
dear 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 petriified. 
E7                    A7 
And then maybe these tears  
 
will leave my eyes. 
          D  
There's a tear in my beer

Last night I walked the floor 
 
and the night before 
                      A7     
You are on my lonely mind. 
 
It seems my life is through 
 
and I'm so doggone blue

You are on my lonely mind.

I'm gonna keep on sittin' here  
     D 
till I can't move a toe

and then maybe my heart 
 
won't hurt me so.

'cause I'm cryin' for you, dear.
