Honky Tonk Women
[Intro]
G G G G
[Verse 1]
G C
I met a gin-soaked barroom queen in Memphis
G A D
She tried to take me upstairs for a ride
G C
She had to heave me right across her shoulder
G D G
‘cause I just can’t seem to drink you off my mind
[Chorus]
G D G
It’s the ho-oooo-nky tonk women
G D G
That gimme, gimme, gimme the honky-tonk blues
[Verse 2]
G C
I played a divorcee in New York City
G A D
I had to put up some kind of a fight
G C
The lady then she covered me in roses
G D G
She blew my nose and then she blew my mind
[Chorus]
G D G
It’s the ho-oooo-nky tonk women
G D G
That gimme, gimme, gimme the honky-tonk blues
[Solo]

[Chorus]
G D G
It’s the ho-oooo-nky tonk women
G D G
That gimme, gimme, gimme the honky-tonk blues
G D G
It’s the ho-oooo-nky tonk women
G D G
That gimme, gimme, gimme the honky-tonk blues
Sitting in a bar, sucking on a jar in Jackson. Outside the summer sun it shines
It ain no fun being busted flat in Jackson, with a honky tonking woman on your mind
