(D) Not so long ago I (A) walked into this (D) bar 
It's the busiest spot in (G) this here town by (D) far 
You have to wait your (G) turn for the little (D) room in back you (G) know 
And I've been (D) sittin' here since (A) 15 beers a-(D)-go 

15 beers ago and (G) I still feel the (D) same, why do I have to suffer this (A) pain 
It hurts (D) just as much in-(G)-side as if it's (D) been a week or (G) so 
It takes a (D) mighty patient (G) man, to wait in (D) line, and wring his (G) hands 
Oh when he (D) hasn't been since (A) 15 beers a-(D)-go

(D) Then a lovely girl said, (A) Would you dance with (D) me? 
I said yes I would and (G) she gave me a (D) squeeze 
As we danced around the (G) floor I said, Oh (D) Lord, don't let it (G) go! 
Cause (D) it ain't been since (A) 15 beers a-(D)-go 

15 beers ago and (G) I still feel the (D) same, (only more so) why did I have to 
suffer this (A) pain 
It hurts (D) just as much in-(G)-side as if it's (D) been a week or (G) so 
It takes a (D) mighty patient (G) man, to wait his (D) turn, and wring his (G) hands 
Oh when he (D) hasn't been since (A) 15 beers a-(D)-go
