Chord/Tab song: Dim Lights, Thick Smoke

Dwight Yoakam
Dim Lights, Thick Smoke

This is in F, but it's much easier to play in E and capo 1

For the guitar, play the boogie woogie blues bar chord style throughout,
and obviously use 7th's on most of this.

Capo 1
Chorus
[E]Dim lights, thick smoke, and loud, loud [A]music
It's the [E]only kind of life you'll ever unders[B]tand
Oh, dim [E]lights, thick smoke, and loud, loud [A]music
You'll [E]never make a wife to a [B]home lovin [E]man

[E]A home and little children, mean nothing to [A]you
A [E]house filled with love or a husband that'[B]s true
[E]You'd rather have a drink with the first guy you [A]meet
And the [E]only home you know is that [B]club down the [E]street

Chorus

Solo Over chorus

Verse 2
A drinking and dancing to a honky tonk band
When you left your loving family life back right back where you ran
So go on and have your fun but you won't always look so smart
When some day that lonely barroom breaks your honky-tonk heart

Chorus out
