Honkytonkville chords

Capo 2


A                    E
Thought I’d go crazy when you said goodbye
                          A
I didn’t have that far to go 
                        E
But I made a wrong turn somewhere in the night
                       A
Down a long and lonely road 



Chorus
        D
To Honkytonkville, an ideal
 
Home away from home sweet home
     B
Honkytonkville where I don’t feel
  E
A thing since you’ve been gone 
          A
Where the future’s always bright

    hide ad ⨯
    

        

    



       D
In the glow of neon lights 
       E                             A             
Livin’ high on Barstool Hill in Honkytonkville 



A                      E
There’s friendly faces everywhere I turn 
                         A
Droppin’ quarters in the slot 
                              E
Lord knows that we’ve all got memories to burn 
                                             A
And that’s why that jukebox plays around the clock 



Chorus
        D
To Honkytonkville, an ideal
 
Home away from home sweet home
     B
Honkytonkville where I don’t feel
  E
A thing since you’ve been gone 
          A
Where the future’s always bright
       D
In the glow of neon lights 
       E                             A             
Livin’ high on Barstool Hill in Honkytonkville



       E                             A  
Livin’ high on Barstool Hill in Honkytonkville 





How to play "Honkytonkville" on guitar

Capo 2

[Verse 1]: Place your fingers in the following positions to play the A chord:
  - Position your ring, middle, and index fingers on the D, G, and B strings'
corresponding second frets.
  - Strumming down from the A string.

Put your index finger on the first fret of the G string, your middle finger on the
second fret of the A string, your ring finger on the second fret of the D string,
and stroke all the strings to produce the E chord.

To mimic the country mood, play with a leisurely strumming pattern.
- Use downstrokes on the first and third beats to keep the rhythm consistent.

[Chorus] - To play the D chord, place your index finger on the second fret of
the G string, middle finger on the second fret of the high E string, ring finger
on the third fret of the B string, and strum from the D string down.

Using your index finger on the second fret of the A string, your middle finger
on the fourth fret of the D string, your ring finger on the fourth fret of
the G string, and your pinky on the fourth fret of the B string, strum down
from the A string to play the B chord.

- Use the same fingering pattern as before for the E chord.


Typical Errors: - To stop buzzing, firmly press the strings.
Strumming with a loose hand will help you maintain a steady rhythm.

[General Tip]
- Tune your guitar before beginning to play.
- Use a light pick to produce a sharp, clear sound.
- Begin gently to become familiar with the chord changes,
then gradually increase speed.
