C               F              C
A broken heart  and a glass of beer
                        G7
Is all I have before me here
     C
I’ve lived the life I’m rowdy and rough
F                    C
But now at last I’ve got enough
              G7                    C
With a broken heart  and a glass of beer
 
                 F            C
I’ve had my fun  there was no fear
                               G7
Just roaming around year after year
    C
I’m wild and wooly lord full of fleas
F                   C
But I ended up down on my knees
              G7                    C
With a broken heart  and a glass of beer
 
                 F                C
My baby is gone  and I don’t know where
                            G7
I’m a lonely soul deep in despair
      C
I can kick my dog off the roof of my cab
F                      C
But oddly enough right where I’m at
              G7                    C
With a broken heart  and a glass of beer
 
                   F                 C
My Ford won’t run  I’ve stripped her gears
                             G7
My cow’s been dry for over a year
   C
My mailman died my phone won’t ring
F                     C
My landlord kicked me out in rain
              G7                    C
With a broken heart  and a glass of beer
             
             G7                     C
I got broken heart  lord a glass of beer
