Tom: F#

Intro- Verse 1 Chords
 
  F#                                     C#
I walked into a honky-tonk just the other day
                                                F#
I dropped a nickel in a juke box just to hear it play
                                                C#
I didn't have no tune in mind, I didn't wait to choose
                                                           F#
Just dropped a nickel in the slot and I played the juke box blues

Instrumental- chords from verse 1

F# 
There's a guy in there with an old tin horn
                         C#
And a feller on an old banjo

And the man of the fiddle he wasn't no slouch
                         F#
He could really drag that bow

Fiddle plays-Chords from verse 1

F# 
Well, the man on the fiddle he must have got tired 
                 C#
I didn't hear him say

'Cause he cut loose on the steel guitar
                      F#
And the juke box ran away

Steel guitar plays- Chords from verse 1

F#
And I've heard something going strong
                   C#
It must have been a drum

It gave that song a solid beat
                F#
Boy it was goin' some

Drum plays- Chords from verse 1

F#                                       C#
I walked into a honky-tonk just the other day
                                                F#
I dropped a nickel in a juke box just to hear it play
                                               C#
I didn't have no tune in mind, I didn't wait to choose
                                                           F#
Just dropped a nickel in the slot and I played the juke box blues

Lead guitar plays- Chords from verse 1*

F#
I've played a lot of juke boxes
                C#
Most everyone in town

That's the first tune I've ever heard 
                        F#
That can make one mess around

INSTRUMENTAL-F#
                 C#
Play the juke box blues

Such a rhythm I've never heard 
                       F#
I danced out both of my shoes
