Verse: 
G  
If your paycheck depends on the weather and the clock 
If your conversation calls for a little more than a coffee pot 
       C 
If you need to pour your heart out 
                        Bb    G  
And try to rectify some situation, that you're facin' 
             D        C          D       G

Verse: 
When Uncle Sam dips in your pocket for most things you don't mind 
But when your dollar goes to all of those standing in a welfare line 
Rejoice you have a voice  
if you're concerned about the destination, of this great nation 
It's called the American Honky-Tonk Bar Association 

                  C 
It represents the hardhat gunrack, achin'-back, over-taxed, flag-wavin', fun-lovin' crowd 
        G 
They're heart is in the music and they love to play it loud 
           D 
There's no forms or no applications 
C       Cis D 
There's no  red tape administrations 
C    Cis D                       G 
It's the American Honky-Tonk Bar Association

Verse: 
We're all one big family throughout the cities and the towns 
We don't reach for handouts we reach for those who are down 
And every local chapter has a seven day a week available 
consultation for your frustration 
It's called an American Honky-Tonk Bar Association
