  [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[F] 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 [F]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 
  
Doc [F#] wrote a prescription to in[B]duce him to [F#] cry 
It was whiskey and [C#] sad country [F#] songs 
We pr[F#]opped him up in a booth 
Poured a [B] drink down his [F#] throat 
Then we turned that old [C#] Wurlitzer [F#] on 
Well h[F#]e 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 
 




Until a  fi[B]ve gallon tear, a  f[F#]ive gallon tear 
Slowly welled [C#] up in his [F#] eyes 
[B] We all yelled "push" and we [F#] all gave a  c[B]heer 
When [F#] he cried that [C#] five gallon [F#] tear

[B][F#][C#][F#]
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 
Keep your  s[B]orrow inside for  t[F#]oo many  y[B]ears 
And  you[F#]'ll cry that  five[C#] gallon  tear[F#]  [B]

Let [F#]this be a l[C#]esson to y[F#]ou
