[Verse 1]
F                                 C
Ever since you left me, I've done nothing but wrong
G                           C   C7
Many nights I lie awake and cry
F                      C
We once were happy, my heart lay in your hand
    G                    C
But now I’m a honky-tonk man
   G                        C
So turn that jukebox way up high
    G                        C    C7
And fill my glass up while I cry
     F                       C
I've lost everything in this land
    G                    C
And now I'm a honky-tonk man

F                              C
I just can’t make a right with all of my wrongs
      G                           C   C7
Every evening of my life seems so long
    F                     C
I'm sorry and ashamed for all the games I've played
G                              C
Losing you done made a fool of me
   G                        C
So fill my glass up for me, Sir
   G                 C    C7
To lose my memory of her
     F                       C
I've lost everything in this land
    G                    C   F   C G C
And now I'm a honky-tonk man
