Dive Bar Sweetheart chords by Becky Warren

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse:

C                F C                 F
Ash on the carpet, stains on the wall
C                                       F           C       F
Everybody’s here cuz they’re better off drowning in alcohol
C                            F C                        F
Singing along with the jukebox washed in grit and grease
C
She floated in one Saturday and redeemed the place

Chorus:

Am                 C
She’s my dive bar sweetheart
Am              C
Angel of cheap gin
Am       A#                       G
I don’t want to think what I’d of been
            F        C        F
Without my dive bar sweetheart

Verse:

C                              F
Trading jokes with the regulars
C                            F
Dancing with the Vietnam vets
C                                   F      C
Lighting the whole place up like a million cigarettes

Chorus:
Am           C
my dive bar sweetheart
Am             C
Angel of well gin
Am       A#                        G
I don’t want to think what I’d of been
            F        C       F
without my dive bar sweetheart

Verse:

C                      F
I swear I saw it happen
C                   F
under the neon glare
C
The smoke parted and god put a halo around her hair.

Chorus:
Am           C
my dive bar sweetheart
Am             C
Angel of well gin
Am       A#                        G
I don’t want to think what I’d of been
            F        C       F
without my dive bar sweetheart
