[Chorus:]
E
Well I'm a honky tonk man and I can't seem to stop
A E
I love to give the girls a whirl to the music of an old jukebox
B
But when my money's all gone, I'm on the telephone singing
E E
Hey, hey, mama can your daddy come home

[Verse:]
E B
Now I'm living wild and dangerously
A E
But I've got plenty of company
B
When the moon comes up and the sun goes down
A E
I can't wait to see the lights of town

[Chorus]

GUITAR SOLO: E A E B E

[Verse:]
E B
A pretty little girl and a jug of wine

Well that's what it takes to make a honky tonk time

With the jukebox moaning those honky tonk sounds
A E
I can't wait to lay my money down

[Chorus x2]

Track 2 – It Won’t Hurt

Intro: D D A E A

[Chorus:]
A D A
It won't hurt when I fall down from this bar stool
A D E
It won't hurt when I stumble in the street
A D A
It won't hurt 'cause this whiskey eases misery
D D A E A
Even whiskey cannot ease your hurtin' me

[Verse:]
A D A
Today I had another bout with sorrow
E
You know this time I almost won
D A
If this bottle would just hold out 'til tomorrow
E A
I know that I would have sorrow on the run

[Chorus:]

Lead over Verse

[Verse:]
A D A
Your memory comes back up with each sunrise

I reach up for the bottle and find it's gone

Yeah lord somewhere every night the whiskey leaves me

To face this cold cold world on my own

[Chorus:]

[Outro:]
D D A E A
Even whiskey cannot ease your hurtin' me

Track 3 – I’ll Be Gone

[Verse:]
G D
I watch as you take off your clothes
C G
And slip under the sheets
D G
Then i turn and kick the boots off my feet
G D
Pull you close without a word
C G
For there's no need to speak
D G
Girl beauty like yours is hard to beat

[Chorus:]
G
But i'll be gone in the morning
C G
In the morning i'll be gone
D
Cause i'm not one for hangin' on
G C G
So please don't think you done somethin' wrong
D G
Cause in the morning when you wake you'll find me gone

[Verse:]
G D
Just one look at those fiery eyes
C G
Can almost erase
D G
The memory of any others face
D C G
and the passion that's unleashed can cause me to misplace
D G
I lose all track of time without a trace

[Chorus:]

G D
The sun intrudes and thrills
C G
Across the room it's golden tracks
D G
I shake the dreams and now it's back to facts
G D C G
As i turn to leave i know you had what so many lack
D G
And maybe someday it'll bring me back

[Chorus:]

To the home you left so long ago

[Verse:]
G C G
She pulled the letter from the pages of her Bible
D7 G
And a rose pressed inside the Book of Luke
G C G
For fourteen years she’d write each day but keep it hidden
D7 G
Refused to even speak his name, but still she wrote:

[Chorus:]

[Instrumental, same chords as chorus]

[Verse:]
G C G
At a cold grey apartment in Chicago
D7 G
A cigarette drowns inside a glass of gin

He lies there drunk but it don’t matter drunk or sober

He’ll never read the words that pride won’t let her send

Then I’ll be yours again

Girl, you taught me how to hurt real bad

Don't taste so sweet

Like findin' mine now I guess I'll just leave
