[Verse 1]
C                  C7  F  F                C      C   C
A honky tonk waltz        the juke box was playin'
          G      G  G                 C    C
And I was swayin'     that darlin' of mine
G                    C    C7  F  F    C  C  C
   Just a honky tonk waltz       C - 27
       C            G      G
Ah but it felt like heaven
G                   C    F  C
   In three quarter time

[Chorus]
                       Am   Em  F
Then a stranger walked by – y - y
               C        C   C
That's when it happened
C              Am    Em   F
She caught his eye – eye -eye
          G       D7        G7
He came a-tappin' askin' to share

[Verse 2]
             C     C7 F  F        C      C   C
A honky tonk waltz       was a suggestion
    C          G        G  G                 C    C  G7
But from her expression      I knew from the start
                  C     C7 F  F                 C      C  C
That a honky tonk waltz       played our love's ending
          G      G  G              C    F  C
And the beginning     of my broken heart
