G C
The lights are dim and low in the tavern
G D7
As I sit all alone with a heart that's lost
G C
But the laughing crowd don't know tears are ready to flow
G D7 G
As I listen to the Honky Tonk Waltz
D7 G
It's the same waltz we used to dance together
D7 G
Now you're gone and I'll suffer alone
C
I'm so blue tonight while another holds you tight
G D7 G
And I listen to the honky tonk waltz
G C
There's no use to go to my lonely room
G D7
I can't sleep I'll just turn and toss
G C
So when the crowd says goodbye I'll just sit here and cry
G D7 G
As I listen to the Honky Tonk Waltz
D7 G
It's the same waltz we used to dance together
D7 G
Now you're gone and I'll suffer alone
C
I'm so blue tonight while another holds you tight
G D7 G
And I listen to the honky tonk waltz
