I was hard to handle  the day we said I do 
F                 C              D7                 G7
She was just like some fine wine and I was old home brew 
C                               F                    C
I took her to the smoky joints  where she was out of place 
F                        C          F      G7               C
While I played those old honky tonk songs  she sang Amazing Grace 
 
    G7                             F                 C
But somehow hymns and honky tonks  don't go together long 
F                     C        D7               G7
But I kept on raising hell and she kept holding on 
C                                 F                        C
I'm Faded Love and Cheating Heart and she's still silk and lace 
F                    C          F      G7                C
While I played those honky tonk songs  she sings Amazing Grace 
 
                             F                C
I left for a drinking night  found at any old bar 
F                         C                D7                       G7
I'll dance and I'll flirt but it's alright cause she knows where we are 
C                                  F                          C
She's Sunday morning Sunday school while I'm at home sleeping late 
F                     C          F      G7                      C
Dreaming of those old honky tonk songs  while she sings Amazing Grace
