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 canʼt seem to drink you off my mind.
Chorus:
G#D#G#
Itʼs the Hon Honky Tonk Women,
G#D#G#
give me, give me, give me the honky tonk blues.
G#C#
Strollinʼ on the boulevards of Paris,
G#A#D#
as naked as the day that I will die.
G#C#
The sailors theyʼre so charming there in Paris,
G#D#G#
but they just donʼt seem to sail you off my mind.
Chorus:
G#D#G#
Itʼs the Hon Honky Tonk Women,
G#D#G#
give me, give me, give me the honky tonk blues.
G#C#
I laid a divorcee in New York City,
G#A#D#
I had to put up some kind of a fight.
G#C#G#
The lady she all dressed me up in roses,
G#D#G#
she blew my nose and then she blew my mind.
Chorus:
G#D#G#
Itʼs the Hon Honky Tonk Women,
G#D#G#
give me, give me, give me the honky tonk blues.
G#D#G#
Itʼs the Hon Honky Tonk Women,
G#D#G#
give me, give me, give me the honky tonk blues.
G#D#G#
give me, give me, give me the honky tonk blues.
G#D#G#
give me, give me, give me the honky tonk blues.
