Key: :[Eb] (w: Johnny Horton, Tillman Franks, Howard Hausey) (o: Johnny Horton, 1956)
INTRO: [Eb] [Eb open]
CHORUS:
Well, I'm a honky tonk
[Eb] man, and I can't seem to stop
I love to give the girls a
[Ab] whirl to the music of an old juke-
[Eb]-box
But when my money's all
[Bb7] gone, I'm on the telephone
Singing
[Eb open] hey-hey, mama can your daddy come home
[Eb]
VERSE 1:
Now
[Eb] I'm living wild and
[Bb7] dangerously
But
[Ab] I've got plenty of
[Eb] company
When the moon comes up and the
[Bb7] sun goes down
[Ab] I can't wait to see the
[Eb] lights of town
[Eb open]
REPEAT CHORUS:
BREAK: [over CHORUS]
REPEAT CHORUS:
VERSE 2:
A
[Eb] pretty little girl and a
[Bb7] jug of wine
Well
[Ab] that's what it takes to make a
[Eb] honky tonk time
With the jukebox moaning those
[Bb7] honky tonk sounds
[Ab] I can't wait to lay my
[Eb] money down
[Eb open]
REPEAT CHORUS: [x2] [Eb open to end]
