[Verse] – – – – – <\/strong><\/span>[F] Every time we disagreed, she was always askin’ me “Are you a man or a [C] mouse?” Now that she’s gone, she probably thinks I’m home just a mopin’ around the [F] house.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 She probably thinks that she’s the one thing <\/strong><\/span>I just couldn’t get along [C] without. Well, wouldn’t it surprise her, I got a sympathizer – As long as these bottles hold [F] out<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

{ CHORUS } – – – [F] Sittin’ on a bar stool, actin’ like a darn fool. That’s what I’m a doin’ [C] today. Sitting’ here drinkin’, tryin’ to keep from thinkin’ I’m a [F] boozin’ my troubles away.\u00a0 Well, now [F] I couldn’t make her stay, doggone her anyway. She can’t say that I didn’t [B] try. So [C] pour me another one, I’m finished with the other one, I’m drinkin’ my baby [F] goodbye<\/span> <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

[Verse] – – – – – <\/strong><\/span>[F] Every time I try to sit down and talk to her, it always ends up in a [C] fuss. I tried to reason with her right up to the time she got on that Greyhound [F] bus.\u00a0\u00a0 [F] It would be better if I could forget her ’cause she sure forgot about [C] me. And if takes all night I’m gonna do it right I’m gonna sit here till I can’t [F] see<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
