CHORUS:
D
If the whole world was a honky-tonk,
E
And it revolved around an old jukebox,
G
We'd tell our troubles to the Bar,
A
Over cryin' steel guitars,
Bm
And soon, they'd all be gone.
G
Yeah, if you asked me what I thought,
A
I'd say: "We'd be better off,
D
"If the whole world was a honky-tonk."
VERSE:
D
You could smoke that cigarette,
Bm
An' be politically incorrect.
G
Show off that red 'round your neck:
A
Not hear a single soul object.
D
Wouldn't need no lawyers to decide,
Bm
Who is wrong and who is right.
G
No need for big expensive trials:
A
Brother, we'd just step outside.
CHORUS:
If the whole world was a honky-tonk,
And it revolved around an old jukebox,
We'd tell our troubles to the Bar,
Over cryin' steel guitars,
And soon, they'd all be gone.
Yeah, if you asked me what I thought,
I'd say: "We'd be better off,
"If the whole world was a honky-tonk."
VERSE:
Wouldn't have to pay no tax:
Just set a tip jar in the back.
If we ran low, we'd pass the hat:
I bet we'd all be in the black,
CHORUS:
D
If the whole world was a honky-tonk.
(Instrumental for rest of chorus)
E-G-A-Bm-G-A-D
BRIDGE:
Bm
And if you're lookin' love:
G
Someone to heal that broken heart.
E
Hey, buddy, you'd be in half.
A
You wouldn't have to go that far.
CHORUS:
If the whole world was a honky-tonk,
And it revolved around an old jukebox,
We'd tell our troubles to the Bar,
Over cryin' steel guitars,
And soon, they'd all be gone.
If you asked me what I thought,
I'd say: "We'd be better off,
"If the whole world was a honky-tonk."
G
Life would be a three-chord song,
A
And the king would be George Jones,
(BREAK) D
If the whole world was a honky-tonk.
