[Intro]
G  Am  C    G  Am  C    G


[Verse 1]
       Am7                 C
On the night that we first met
                               G
"Don’t Rock It" was on the radio
        Am                 C
And the time that we first kissed
                                 G
Keith Whitley was singing “Don’t Close Your Eyes”
        Am                 C
But the night she said goodbye
                              D
I heard “I Saw Goodbye In Her Eyes”
                        C
Ruined every damn one I liked
C          G
That’s why


[Chorus]
        Am                 C
I don’t wanna hear Jones tonight
                                G
Buddy, that ain’t the place I’m in
             Am                   C
I can’t take another steel guitar crying
                                   G
‘Bout a girl getting gone with the wind
                 Am
I need some loud guitars and an open bar
C                                              Em
If I’m gonna pick this broken heart up off the rocks
     D                       C
So tonight, I’m gonna be the guy
        D
Dumping quarters from his pocket
C                    G
Anything to rock the jukebox


[Interlude]
G    Am G C   G   Am G C   G


[Verse 2]
        Am                         C
It’d be different if she was in my arms
                                  G
We were in a truck by a fire at a farm
          Am                 C
If it was any other ordinary day
                                      D
I’d just drink a beer and let ‘em all play
D
But it ain’t, she’s gone
          C
And these ain’t the songs
                     G
You hear in a honky-tonk


[Chorus]
            Am                 C
But I don’t wanna hear Jones tonight
                                G
Buddy, that ain’t the place I’m in
             Am                   C
I can’t take another steel guitar crying
                                   G
‘Bout a girl getting gone with the wind
                 Am
I need some loud guitars and an open bar
C                                              Em
If I’m gonna pick this broken heart up off the rocks
     D                       C
So tonight, I’m gonna be the guy
        D
Dumping quarters from his pocket
C                    G       Am G C
Anything to rock the jukebox
                      G        Am G C
(Anything to rock the jukebox)


[Bridge]
G           Am
 So, I apologize if you came here tonight
                  C
To hear a country song
                Em
You came to the wrong place
        D
I don’t wanna hear a chord
        C                       D
And the truth heartbreak, bandaid


[Chorus]
 G             Am                 G
‘Cause I don’t wanna hear Jones tonight
                                G
Buddy, that ain’t the place I’m in
             Am                   C
I can’t take another steel guitar crying
                                   G
‘Bout a girl getting gone with the wind
                 Am
I need some loud guitars and an open bar
C                                              Em
If I’m gonna pick this broken heart up off the rocks
     D                       C
So tonight, I’m gonna be the guy
        D
Dumping quarters from his pocket
C                    G
Anything to rock the jukebox


[Outro]
        Am                  C
(On the night that we first met
                               G   Am  C
"Don’t Rock It" was on the radio)
