Note: This song is 90% bar chords, and there's not

really away around them.

Intro: (F) (F) (F) (F)

(F) We were all drinking at (Bb) Marge's one (F) night

When an old cowboy (C) came through the (F) door

He took a few shaky steps

Then he (Bb) started to (F) moan

And he keeled over (C) right on the fl(F)oor

Doc came on over, took his (Bb) stethoscope (F) out

He listened and he (C) looked in his (F) eyes

He said, "boys, stick around

I just (Bb) might need your (F) help

I'm afraid this will (C) be a long (F) night"

Cause, there's a (Bb) five gallon tear, a (F) five gallon tear

Lodged in this (C) poor old boy's (F) heart

By the (Bb) look in his eyes he (F) ain't cried in (Bb) years

And he's re(F)taining a (C) five gallon (F) tear

--Key Change--

Doc (F#) wrote a prescr i ption to in(B)duce him to (F#) cry

It was whiskey and (C#) sad country (F#) songs

We propped him up in a booth

Poured a (B) drink down his (F#) throat

Then we turned that old (C#) Wurlitzer (F#) on

Well he spluttered and he coughed

And he (B) hung down his (F#) head

As those lonely songs (C#) worked on his (F#) heart

When the memories started coming six (B) minutes a(F#)part

We laid him face (C#) up on the (F#) bar

Then a (B) five gallon tear, a (F#) five gallon tear

Slowly welled (C#) up in his (F#) eyes

(B) We all yelled "push" and we (F#) all gave a (B) cheer

When (F#) he cried that (C#) five gallon (F#) tear

Fiddle Solo

That (D#m) jar by the (C#) door, don't hold (B) pig feet no (F#) more

The (D#m) contents are (C#) sparkling (B) clear

That (D#m) liquid with(C#)in is not (B) moonshine or (F#) gin

It's a re(B)minder to everyone (C#) here

It's a (B) five gallon tear, a (F#) five gallon tear

Let this be a (C#) lesson to (F#) you

If you (B) sorrow inside for (F#) too many (B) years

Then (F#) you'll cry the (C#) five gallon (F#) tear (B)

Buddy (F#) you'll cr(C#)y (B) (C#)

Buddy, (F#) you'll cry a (C#) five gallon (F#) tear...
