Verse 1
G G 
 
Oh, hang down your boots
from the circular rung
D D 
 
On your standard -sized
G G 
 
folks in your stool
C C 
 
And survey the size
G G 
 
through the beer drinker's eyes
D D 
 
G G 
 
Of the crowd that you came here to fool
And play the requests
of the ones they like best
D D 
 
And keep them familiar to all
G G 
 
C C 
 
Well, next time you're here
G G 
 
with your ballads and beer
D D 
 
You'll be singing to the
G G 
 
waiters and walls
F F

D D 
 
Are you ready for ballads and

F F 
 
C C 
 
G G 
 
C C 
 
beer?
G G 
 
And you know if you're smart,
you play from the heart
D D 
 
They can't truth or deceit
G G 
 
C C 
 
And the manager stands
G G 
 
with a drink in his hands
D D 
 
And mentally he tallies receipts
G G 
 
And with a chuckling grin,
you take it all in
D D 
 
G G 
 
Somehow controlling your fear
C C 
 
So turn on the night
G G 
 
and turn down the lights
D D 
 
G G 
 
Are you ready for ballads and beer?

beer?
G G 
 
Now don't try to joke
with the serious folk
D D 
 
If you ain't a humorous man
G G 
 
C C 
 
And swallow the noise
G G 
 
from the truck drivin' boys
D D 
 
G G 
 
Absorbin' as much as you can
Now I know that you say
the dues that you pay
D D 
 
G G 
 
Ain't helped your plan for years
C C 
 
But they're startin' to yell,
G G 
 
so give it to them well
D D 
 
And play some more ballads
G G 
 
and drink some more beer
