 F                        Bb           F     
  We were all drinking at  Marge's one  night
                    C                 F    
 When an old cowboy  came through the  door
        F                           Bb          F    
 He took a few shaky steps, then he  started to  moan
                    C               F  
 And he keeled over  right on the floor
                            Bb           F   
 Doc came on over, took his  stethoscope  out
                    C              F    
 He listened and he  looked in his  eyes
    F                                Bb               F    
 He said, "boys, stick around I just  might need your  help
                      C          F      
 I'm afraid this will  be a long  night"
                  Bb                   F                
 Cause, there's a  five gallon tear, a  five gallon tear
                C               F     
 Lodged in this  poor old boy's  heart
        Bb                   F               Bb    
 By the  look in his eyes he  ain't cried in  years
            F         C            F    
 And he's retaining a  five gallon  tear
     F#                         B           F#  
 Doc  wrote a prescription to induce him to  cry
                    C#           F#    
 It was whiskey and  sad country  songs
      F#                     
 We propped him up in a booth
          B               F#     
 Poured a  drink down his  throat
                         C#         F# 
 Then we turned that old  Wurlitzer  on
       F#                         
 Well he spluttered and he coughed
        B              F#   
 And he  hung down his  head
                       C#             F#    
 As those lonely songs  worked on his  heart
                                      B         F#  
 When the memories started coming six  minutes apart
                  C#        F#  
 We laid him face up on the  bar
 
 
 
           B                  F#             
 Until a five gallon tear, a five gallon tear
               C#         F#   
 Slowly welled  up in his  eyes
 B                            F#           B   
  We all yelled "push" and we  all gave a cheer
      F#             C#           F#   
 When  he cried that  five gallon  tear
Solo:
 B F# C# F# 
 
      D#m         C#                B            F#   
 That  jar by the  door, don't hold  pig feet no  more
     D#m           C#         B     
 The  contents are  sparkling  clear
      D#m         C#        B             F#  
 That  liquid within is not  moonshine or  gin
          B                  C#   
 It's a reminder to everyone  here
        B                    F#               
 It's a  five gallon tear, a  five gallon tear
               C#         F#  
 Let this be a  lesson to  you
            B                 F#       B   
 Keep your sorrow inside for too many years
