Webb Pierce ' Honky Tonk Song
(Recorded key ' F)
[F]I got me a room in a cheap hotel,
[F]My head was a spinnin', and I didn't feel well,
[Bb]I laid right down, and tried to go to sleep,
[F]A band kept a playin' and jarrin' underneath,
[C]I picked up my pillow and covered up my head,
F (STACATO)
But the band kept a playin' and shakin' my bed
Chorus:
[F]Honky tonk, all night long,
[F]Honky tonk, same ole song,
[Bb]Honky tonk, my moneys all gone,
[F]Honky tonk, she done me wrong,
[C]I turned and I tossed and I couldn't go to sleep
F (STACATO)
Cause the band kept a playin' with a honky tonk beat
(Solo) F / Bb / F / C / F
[F]Well I'm so blue, my baby's gone,
[F]She took all my money and left me all alone,
[Bb]I tried to forget her but I don't know what to do,
[F]The honky tonk song keeps a leakin' through,
[C]I picked up my piller and I covered up my head,
F (STACATO)
But the band keeps a playin' and shakin' my bed
(Repeat Chorus)
