Honky Tonk Friends

C   C   C  C

[Verse 1]
C
I like my next-door-neighbor
F                           C
We do each other favors sometimes
C
We threw somethin' on the grill
                                G
Sat around and chilled just the other night
       C                            F
And we talk about our lawns and the goin's on
               C
In our neighborhood
       D                                   G
He's a real nice guy...that's all fine and good

[Chorus]
                       C
He ain't my honky tonk friends
       C7           F     C       F
Nobody really understands me like them
                           G
I love the songs that they sing,
                            F
I love the drinks that they drink
                       C
I love the dances they dance
G                           C
  They don't make fun of my drawl,
     C7                 F    E     D7
Keep somethin' cold and tall in my hand
                 G                              F
I ain't gotta pretend, they take me just like I am

[Verse 2]
C
I like my growin' up buddies,
F                              C
We still keep in touch now and then
                                                    G
Them folks down at the office really ain't all that stiff
  C                         F                         C
I met some real good people underneath the steeple in town
     D7                                   G
I'll still make time for them, but as for right now

[Chorus]
                       C
He ain't my honky tonk friends
       C7          F      C       F
Nobody really understands me like them
                           G
I love the songs that they sing,
                            F
I love the drinks that they drink
                       C
I love the dances they dance
G                           C
  They don't make fun of my drawl,
     C7                 F    E     D7
Keep somethin' cold and tall in my hand
                 G                              F
I ain't gotta pretend, they take me just like I am
                     C
I love my honky tonk friends

[Bridge]
         G
Well, we light each other's smokes
       C
And we bend each other's ear
       G
And we laugh at each other's stupid jokes
       C
And we buy each other beers
        F
Then we lose our butts in pool
       C
But we win it back in darts
       D7
And we lend each other shoulders
     G
When someone breaks our hearts.

[Chorus]
                     C
I love my honky tonk friends
       C7          F      C       D
Nobody really understands me like them
                 G                              F
I ain't gotta pretend, they take me just like I am
                     C
I love my honky tonk friends
                 G                              F
I ain't gotta pretend, they take me just like I am
                     C      D G E C  C7   C
I love my honky tonk friends         yeah yeah
