Chord/Tab song: The Honky Tonk Kid

H[D]es wrinkled and gray
But hes st[G]ill got the f[D]ire
And he sing[A]s on the stage
Like a b[G]ird on a [D]wire
Oh hell pack em in
Just like [G]he always d[D]id
Oh every[A]body loves the h[G]onky tonk [D]kid
He got his first guitar
When he was 15
Thirstin for knowledge
All hungry and green
Strummin that six string
Just like Lefty did
Everybody loves the honky tonk kid

Chorus:
Well the h[G]onky tonk kid loves the h[D]onky tonk crowd
[A]He picks them up when this w[G]orld gets them [D]down
But all the sm[G]oke and the neon keep his pa[D]in hid [A]
Oh nobody knows the h[G]onky tonk kid [D]

Ten million fans
And a handful of friends
But hell go home alone
When each night ends
Hell think about her
And then twist off a lid
Nobody loves the honky tonk kid
Chorus 2x
It wont be long
The Lord will take him away
Hell have sung his last song
Theyll place a wreath on his grave
Oh and hell draw a crowd
Just like he always did
Oh one last goodbye for the honky tonk kid
