I met a gin soaked barroom queen in Memphis,
FGC
she tried to take me upstairs for a ride.
FA#
She had to heave me right across her shoulder,
FCF
cause I just canʼt seem to drink you off my mind.
Chorus:
FCF
Itʼs the Hon Honky Tonk Women,
FCF
give me, give me, give me the honky tonk blues.
FA#
Strollinʼ on the boulevards of Paris,
FGC
as naked as the day that I will die.
FA#
The sailors theyʼre so charming there in Paris,
FCF
but they just donʼt seem to sail you off my mind.
Chorus:
FCF
Itʼs the Hon Honky Tonk Women,
FCF
give me, give me, give me the honky tonk blues.
FA#
I laid a divorcee in New York City,
FGC
I had to put up some kind of a fight.
FA#F
The lady she all dressed me up in roses,
FCF
she blew my nose and then she blew my mind.
Chorus:
FCF
Itʼs the Hon Honky Tonk Women,
FCF
give me, give me, give me the honky tonk blues.
FCF
Itʼs the Hon Honky Tonk Women,
FCF
give me, give me, give me the honky tonk blues.
FCF
give me, give me, give me the honky tonk blues.
FCF
give me, give me, give me the honky tonk blues.
