Honky Tonk Women (Listen to midi)

 

       C                                                         F

1. I met a gin soaked barroom queen in Memphis,

             C                                            G

    she tried to take me upstairs for a ride.

             C                                                     F

    She had to heave me right across her shoulder,

              C                               G                       C

    cause I just can't seem to drink you off my mind.

 

              G                  C

It's the Honky Tonk Women,

                               G                                    C

give me, give me, give me the honky tonk blues.

 

         C                                          F

2.  Strollin' on the boulevards of Paris,

          C                                        G

    as naked as the day that I will die.

             C                                                      F

    The sailors they're so charming there in Paris,

            C                                 G                      C

    but they just don't seem to sail you off my mind. 

 

+ CHORUS

 

       C                                          F

3. I laid a divorcee in New York City,

        C                                           G

    I had to put up some kind of a fight.

             C                                             F

    The lady she all dressed me up in roses,

             C                           G                          C

    she blew my nose and then she blew my mind.
