INTRO: D

N.C.                       G       D
Don't bother sitting at my table
                      G      Am
Just because I'm on my own
                        G
Yes, I'm a woman and I'm lonely
                               D        C G
But that don't mean I can't be strong


                      C
Once again he's not beside me
                           G          Am
And tonight he won't be coming home
                                G        D
So I just need a place to miss my baby
                         G
When he goes out to do me wrong


CHORUS:
                          C
Tonight I want to do some drinking

I came to listen to the band
                                G
Yes, I'm as good as what you're thinking

But I don't want to hold your hand
                       C
And I know I'm looking lonely

But there's nothing here I want to find
              D        G       C
It's just the way of a woman
              D          G           D
When she goes out to walk the line


N.C.                   G       D
Every night's a little longer
                         G      Am
Than the one that came before
                            G
But when I hear them sing a sad song
                            D     C G
I know just what I'm crying for


                         C
I don't want to stay home waiting
                           G           Am
Don't have to wonder where he's been
                       G        D
He'll be someone else's baby
                        G
Before he's in my arms again


CHORUS:
                          C
Tonight I want to do some drinking

I came to listen to the band
                                G
Yes, I'm as good as what you're thinking

But I don't want to hold your hand
                       C
And I know I'm looking lonely

But there's nothing here I want to find
              D        G       C
It's just the way of a woman
              D          G    
When she goes out to walk the line

              D        G       C
It's just the way of a woman
              D          G           D
When she goes out to walk the line
N.C.                      (G)    
Don't bother sitting at my table
