1. After three good years together we had our first big fight,

C G C D7 G

so she went to her mother's and I went for a drive.

C G C C7 F

Down that old familiar highway just few miles out of town

F C G7 C

to that run down one-room tavern that used to be my stompin' grounds.

C G C F C

2. When I pulled in the driveway you know it all still looked the same,

C G C D7 G

and I couldn't wait to down a few and hear that jukebox ring.

C G C

But as I walked in through the doorway

C7 F

there stood some kind of matradee.

F C

well, he looked me up and he looked me down, said

G7 C

May I help you please ? And I said …

C F

What'd you do with those swingin' doors,

C

where's the sawdust on the floor ?

G

Why's everybody wearin' suits and ties ?

C

From where I stand I can't believe my eyes !

F

And whose idea was it to hang these ferns,

C

this brand new bar don't have a single burn ?

G

I guess I'm somewhere that I don't belong,

F C

I need a jukebox with a country song !

3. When I looked back to the corner

F C

where the jukebox once stood proud,

C G C D7 G

some clown was playin' records too fast, too long and too loud.

C G C C7 F

And it must've been a big mistake to try and speak my mind,

F C G C

but as they were askin' me to leave, I cried out one more time ….

C F

What'd you do with those swingin' doors,

C

where's the sawdust on the floor ?

G

Why's everybody wearin' suits and ties ?

C

From where I stand I can't believe my eyes !

F

And whose idea was it to hang these ferns,

C

this brand new bar don't have a single burn ?

G

I guess I'm somewhere that I don't belong,

F C

I need a jukebox with a country song !

F G F C

+ I guess I don't belong without a jukebox and a country song !
