[Verse 1]
C                      F                   C
A honky tonk waltz        the juke box was playin'
          G                           C
And I was swayin'     that darlin' of mine
G                    C        F       C
   Just a honky tonk waltz       C - 27
       C            G
Ah but it felt like heaven
G                   C    F  C
   In three quarter time
 
{ CHORUS }
                       Am   Em  F
Then a stranger walked by – y - y
               C
That's when it happened
C              Am    Em   F
She caught his eye – eye -eye
          G       D         G
He came a-tappin' askin' to share
 
[Verse 2]
             C        F           C
A honky tonk waltz       was a suggestion
    C          G                             C       G
But from her expression      I knew from the start
                  C        F                    C
That a honky tonk waltz       played our love's ending
          G                        C    F  C
And the beginning     of my broken heart
