Five Gallon Tear Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

F F F F

F We were all drinking at A♯ Marge's one F night

When an old cowboy C came through the F door

He tookF a few shaky steps, then he A♯ started to F moan

And he keeled over C right on the flFoor

Doc came on over, took his A♯ stethoscope F out

He listened and he C looked in his F eyes

He Fsaid, "boys, stick around I just A♯ might need your F help

I'm afraid this will C be a long F night"

Cause, there's a A♯ five gallon tear, a F five gallon tear

Lodged in this C poor old boy's F heart

By the A♯ look in his eyes he F ain't cried in A♯ years

And he's reFtaining a C five gallon F tear

Doc F♯ wrote a prescription to inBduce him to F♯ cry

It was whiskey and C♯ sad country F♯ songs

We prF♯opped him up in a booth

Poured a B drink down his F♯ throat

Then we turned that old C♯ Wurlitzer F♯ on

Well hF♯e spluttered and he coughed

And he B hung down his F♯ head

As those lonely songs C♯ worked on his F♯ heart

When the memories started coming six B minutes aF♯part

We laid him face C♯up on the F♯ bar

Until a fiBve gallon tear, a fF♯ive gallon tear

Slowly welled C♯ up in his F♯ eyes

B We all yelled "push" and we F♯ all gave a cBheer

When F♯ he cried that C♯ five gallon F♯ tear

BF♯C♯F♯

That D♯m jar by the C♯ door, don't hold B pig feet no F♯ more

The D♯m contents are C♯ sparkling B clear

That D♯m liquid withC♯in is not B moonshine or F♯ gin

It's a reBminder to everyone C♯ here

It's a B five gallon tear, a F♯ five gallon tear

Let this be a C♯ lesson to F♯ you

Keep your sBorrow inside for tF♯oo many yBears
