Every night I work in places neon light and lonely faces
A E B
People dance and drink away the evening while I play
E A E
I ask myself why do I do it I guess that thers' just something to it
A E B E
Getting paid for something I'd be doing anyway
E A
I wish that I could have a dollar
E
For every drunk that I've hear hollar
A E B
Every passed out bar room brawler sleeping off a fight
E A
And all the stories I've been told
E
I guess I'd have a pot pf gold
A E B E
If even just a single one had turned out to be right
A E B
Playing me some honky tonk music
E B
That's the kind I like to play
A E B
Playing me some honky tonk music
E B E
That's the kind I like to play
E A
I've seen a lot of girls get lied to
E
And I'll admit there's time I tried too
A E B
Some nights when it's getting late the woman looks so fine
E A
I played in bars I didn't care for
E
I didn't know what I was there for
A E B E
But all in all I wouldn't change things even if I could
A E B
Playing me some honky tonk music
E B
That's the kind I like to play
A E B
Playing me some honky tonk music
E B E
That's the kind I like to play
