    E - A - B7 - E   - A - E

 

                     E

1. See her there at the table, watch her tear at the label

                                                              B7

    from the bottle that she's just drank dry,

                E

    in her mind there's a burning, it took a long time but she's learning,

                                     B7                      E       - E7

    and just look at the teardrops she's cried.

 

           A         D       A                          A         D     A

Everybody knows I love her, but her mind is on another,

                E                                        B7

and just look what he's done to her pride.

            E                  A               E                           E      A           E

And if she should change her mind, give up the music and the wine,

            E                   A         B7       E

I'll be standing by to be the next in line.

 

                       E

2. I know her favorite song so well and she's happy I can tell

                                                                       B7

    just as long as she can hear the jukebox play,

                         E

    so I'll keep playing it loud, I'll spend every dime I have

                         E           B7                      E    - E7

    to keep her happy in my own kind of way.
