[G]Well the day it ends when the sun comes up,
[C]Starts when the sun goes [D]down.
[G]Out on the back roads and on the back streets,
Of every [C]farm and factory [D]town.
C9 G G* G C
There in the world of weekly wage. There's always a place out there.
And the [G]names and the [D]faces are the [C9]same every[D]where.
G C9 G G*
Well the room is full it's a Friday night
G* D C9
We all want to hear "Louey-Louey".
G C9 G G*
Been a long hard day and a long hard life,
G* D C9
And this is how we make it through it.
It's a [C]blue-collar place, [D]A red-blooded crowd,
G D C9 G D C9 (repeat intro.)
Tonight everythings all right, In Honky-tonk America.
[G]There's a flashing sign on rain soaked street,
That [C9]lights up just about [D]dark.
[G]A welcome beacon on life's highway,
When your [C9]weary and when you've lost [D]heart.
C9 G G* G C
Never say it's loneliness, It's only the drinks and the pain.
But [G]something [D]brings us back [C9]here again and [D]again.
G C9 G G*
Well the room is full it's a Friday night
G* D C9
We all want to hear "Proud Mary".

We all have our crosses to carry.
It's a [C]blue-collar place, [D]A red-blooded crowd,

Tonight everythings all right, In Honky-tonk America.
