Honky Tonk Song

Capo 2

  D                     D7       G            D
I saw those blue lights flashing over my left shoulder
   D            G                               A
He walked right up and said get off that riding mower
       D             D7               G             D
I said sir, let me explain before you put me in the tank
    D       G     D                A                 D
She took my keys away and then she won't drive me to drink


                    G                  D
I need a honky tonk song, a cold, cold beer
           D                  A
A hardwood floor, a smoky atmosphere
                 G                           D      G
A pocket full of change to last me all night long
           D               A                    D
I'd rather hear old Hank a-moanin' a honky tonk song


Guitar

          D                              G                  D
He didn't show me much compassion when I tried to walk that line
      D         G         D                              A
As he put those handcuffs on me, I said give me one more try
         D                            G           D
He never even cracked a smile when he threw me in car
           D       G         D               A                D
So I said, sir, if you don't mind, would you drop me off at a bar


Chorus
