Honky Tonkin Fool

G                                 
Red hung out at the point of tear 
         C             G
He was a honky tonkin fool
G                                 
He was there when they brought 
                      D7
that jukebox in Back in 1962
C                              
He was first to drop a nickel in 
           G                      C
when he danced whith his first wife
G                              
By 61 his wife was gone but that 
   D          G
jukebox had survived

G                              
It was three plays for a quarter 
                C              G
when I turned old enough to go
G                                 
Red showed me that old Wurlitzer 
                      D7
and son I want you to know
C                                 
If you ever come up two bits short
      G              C
 just kick it on the side
G                                 
And would you do this honky tonkin
          D             G
 fool one favor when I die

He said roll away my tombstone and
           C              G
 put this jukebox in its place
G                              
Then make damn sure your cheatin 
               D7
heart is the only song it plays
C                             
I dont need no stone with fancy 
              G               C
words this jukebox would be cool
G                             
As a perfect final tribute to a 
  D             G
honky tonkin fool

G                                 
When we heard the news me and Mr. 
               C              G
Hughes put the jukebox in my truck
G                                 
and we hauled it right down to the
                 D7
 place where old Red had hung it up
C                                 
Then I ran a short extension cord 
             G          C
from the old caretakers shed
G                                 
Kicked the side played your 
             D                     
cheatin heart and looked down at 
D7
Red and said

G                                 
Red I rolled away your tombstone 
             C             G
and put this jukebox in its place
G                                 
then I made damn sure your cheatin
               D7
 heart was the only song it played
C
