INTRO: [E] [E open]
CHORUS:
Well, I'm a honky tonk
[E] man, and I can't seem to stop
I love to give the girls a
[A] whirl to the music of an old juke-
[E]-box
But when my money's all
[B7] gone, I'm on the telephone
Singing
[E open] hey-hey, mama can your daddy come home
[E]
VERSE 1:
Now
[E] I'm living wild and
[B7] dangerously
But
[A] I've got plenty of
[E] company
When the moon comes up and the
[B7] sun goes down
[A] I can't wait to see the
[E] lights of town
[E open]
REPEAT CHORUS:
BREAK: [over CHORUS]
REPEAT CHORUS:
VERSE 2:
A
[E] pretty little girl and a
[B7] jug of wine
Well
[A] that's what it takes to make a
[E] honky tonk time
With the jukebox moaning those
[B7] honky tonk sounds
[A] I can't wait to lay my
[E] money down
[E open]
REPEAT CHORUS: [x2] [E open to end]
