On The Back Row
Recorded by George Jones

C                 F             C
Here I sit on the back row in a church down the street
                    F                      C
Not to far from the place where we used to meet
                       C7               F
And to find me getting though to me you found someone to love
    G7                                             C
But I'll go back to the place that I keep thinking of

           F                                C
It's not a fancy place just a tavern in the lonely part of town
      G7                              C
Where lonely people find someone that hopes to settle down
          F                         C
They tell me to go and I can't understand
     G7                                           C
Here I sit on the back row  while you wed another man

                      F                  C
You'd never dream but after many years I may still be sitting there
                       F                 C
With just a bottle and two glasses right next to your favorite chair
                        C7              F
All alone you might not give him and he might even tell you wrong
      G7                                       C
There I'll sit in a tavern waiting for you all alone
