[G]Well the day it ends when the sun comes up
and [D]starts when the sun goes [C]down.
[G]Out on the back roads and on the back streets
of every [D]farm and factory [C]town.
[Em]There in the world of [D]weekly wage,
[G]there's always a place out [C]there,
and the [G]names and the [D]faces are the [C]same----every[D]where.[D]

Well the [G]room is full, it's a [D]Friday [C]night,
we [G]all want to [D]hear "Louie, [C]Louie"
It's been a [G]long, hard day and a [D]long hard [C]life,
and [G]this is how we [D]make it through [C]it.
It's a [Em]blue collar place, a [D]red blooded crowd,
to[G]night everything's all[C] right,
G D C pause

In honky-tonk Amer-----ica.

2x G D Dsus C
There's a [G]flashing sign on a rain soaked street,
[D]that lights up just about [C]dark.
A [G]welcome beakon on a lost highway
when you're [D]weary and when you've lost [C]heart.
[Em]Never say it's [D]lonelyness,
it's [G]only the drinks and the [C]band,
but [G]something brings [D]us back [C]here again,
and [D]again.

Chorus:
Well the [G]room is full, it's a [D]Friday [C]night.
We [G]all want to [D]hear "Proud [C]Mary."
It's been a [G]long hard day and a [D]long hard [C]life,
We've [G]all got our [D]crosses to [C]carry.
