Honky Tonk Heartache Of The Year

A#    F     C
I was nominated
G               C
As the people's choice
    F          C
The votes were counted
              G
All opinions voiced
               F
Judging by the looks
             C        Am
From all my friends
F              G
This is one award
                 C
I didn't want to win

[Chorus]

C         C           G                C
I got the honky tonk heartache of the year
                                D            G
Twelve months of misery made a legend out of me
                    C
I'm the winner of a blue ribbon beer
F                       D
First place for crying tears
C         C           G                C
I got the honky tonk heartache of the year

[Verse]

A#       F          C
I wonder what she'd think
G                   C
If she could see me now
             F     C
Through the smoky haze
              G
With my neon crown
            F
I'm a local hero
             C        Am
At the local bar
F               G                         C
I bet she never thought I'd ever get this far

[Chorus]

C         C           G                C
I got the honky tonk heartache of the year
                                D            G
Twelve months of misery made a legend out of me
                    C
I'm the winner of a blue ribbon beer
F                       D
First place for crying tears
C         C           G                C
I got the honky tonk heartache of the year
