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.
