Verse 1:
A                            E            A
She's been dancing all night long with my man
                                 E        F#m    A
Well I thought about cutting in, aw but I ca-ha-an't

'Cause I'm gonna sit right here
               F#m E          A
And empty this ashtray in her beer
        F#m             G                  E
I can't wait to see her drinking from that can

Chorus:

I'm sitting on Ruby's stool right next to Bill
          G                   D                 A
She likes breaking old Bill's heart, she always will
A                           D                        A
Honky tonk girl oughta know better than to break the rules
        D                   E                 A
I'm fed up with her and I'm sitting on Ruby's stool

Verse 2:
A                E                 A
Everybody always gives her lots of space
                  E        F#m    A
No one would ever dare get in her face
        F#m               A
I ain't never been one to fight
    F#m                    A
But friends, tonight's the night
             F#m         G              E
I'm just the one that'll put her in her place

Chorus:
(Pause)        A      F#m                 A
I'm sitting on Ruby's stool right next to Bill

She likes breaking old Bill's heart, she always will
A                           D                        A
Honky tonk girl oughta know better than to break the rules

I'm sitting on Ruby's stool right next to Bill
          G                   D                 A
She likes breaking old Bill's heart, she always will
A                           D                        A
Honky tonk girl oughta know better than to break the rules
        D                E                   A
I don't like her and I'm sitting here on her stool
        D               E                 A
I don't like her so I'm sitting on Ruby's stool

Spoken Outro:
N.C.
She's an old battle-ax to begin with
Nobody in this little tavern likes her
I don't know why she hangs around here, ahh the boys do
I see why they like her, we all know why they like her
