I Feel Like Hank Williams Tonight

              C             G     Am        Em
Well, I could live my whole life, without a phone call
    F              C       G
The likes of which I got today.
       C       G             Am          Em
It was only my wife, said hello then goodbye.
    F             G      C          G
And told me she's going away.
     C        G           Am          Em
Well I didn't cry, It was all cut and dried.
  F              C    G
I hung up before I realized.
C            G         Am            Em
Turned up my stereo, I walked to the window,
F             G               C          G
Stared at the storm clouds outside.


[Chorus]
           C         G             Am         Em
And I play classical music when it rains,
       F            C       G
I play country when I am in pain.
      F             C           Em              Am
But I won't play Beethoven, the mood's just not right
F      C              G          C
 Oh, I feel like Hank Williams tonight.

Em   Am   Em    F
G     C      G


[Verse 2]
        C       G           Am     Em
There's no explanation, not even a reason,
   F           C             G
No talk of the good times we had.
       C          G      Am             Em
Was it me, was it her, I don't know for sure,
    F              G          C          G
And that's why I'm feeling so bad.


[Chorus]
            C         G       Am         Em
Hey, I play jazz when I am confused,
       F           C      G
I play country whenever I lose.
F          C         Em               Am
Bird's saxophone, it just don't seem right
F       C              G          C
 Now, I feel like Hank Williams tonight.


[Interlude 2]
Em   Am   Em   F    C    G    G
C   Em   Am   Em    F    G    C


[Verse 3]
C                G           Am              Em
Lately I've been thinkin', I just might quit drinkin'.
F            C           G
 Now I don't know all-in-all.
  C               G         Am         Em
I just might stay home, get drunk all alone,
    F           G            C          G
And punch a few holes in the wall.


[Chorus]
             C           G           Am     Em
But when I'm real high I play rock'n'roll,
       F                C         G
I play country when I'm losing control.
  F                C              Em          Am
I don't play Chuck Berry quite as much as I'd like,
F       C              G          C       Em      Am      Em
 Now, I feel like Hank Williams tonight.
