Bar With No Beer
Written and recorded by Tom T. Hall
[3/4 time]

G                             C
The beach comber works by the ocean all day
   D7                                       G
He gets what the tourists and the sea throw away
                                  C
He's hot and he's thirsty and the words hurt his ears
          D7                                     G
When they tell him he's stopped in a bar with no beer

                                 C
It's lonesome away from your kin folks at home
       D7                                   G
By the campfires at night where the buffalo roam
                                   C
But there's nothing so lonesome so morbid or drear
        D7                              G
Than to sit on a stool in a bar with no beer

                                      C
There's a dog on the sidewalk for his master he waits
        D7                                    G
But his boss is inside drinking wine with his mate
                         C
He hurries for cover and cringes in fear
         D7                                  G
Ain't no place for a dog round a bar with no beer

                           C
Now Billy the barfly first time in his life
        D7                            G
He went home cold sober to his loving wife
                                        C
He walks in the kitchen she says you're early my dear
          D7                                  G
He breaks down and tells her the bar's got no beer

                             C
The owner is anxious for the beer man to come
          D7                               G
There's a far away look on the face of the bum
                                     C
The waitress is cranky she says it's lonely in here
       D7                              G
What a terrible place is a bar with no beer

                                   C
Well I've had me some trouble I've had me some pain
            D7                                 G
Been locked up in the cold and left out in the rain
                                     C
I've fought with the law but there's one thing I fear
       D7                               G
To get stuck in a town in a bar with no beer
