G C
The beach comber works by the ocean all day
D7 G
He gets what the tourists and the sea throw away
G 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
G C
It's lonesome away from your kin folks at home
D7 G
By the campfires at night where the buffalo roam
G 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
G 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
G C
He hurries for cover and cringes in fear
D7 G
Ain't no place for a dog round a bar with no beer
G C
Now Billy the barfly first time in his life
D7 G
He went home cold sober to his loving wife
G 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
G 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
G C
The waitress is cranky she says it's lonely in here
D7 G
What a terrible place is a bar with no beer
G 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
G 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
