G                                  C
I'm sittin' in a bar tippling a jar in Jackson
    G                  A              D
And on the street the summer sun it shines
         G                                 C
There's many a bar-room queen I've had in Jackson
       G                  D                G
But I just can't seem to drink you off my mind

           D         G
It's the honky tonk women
               D                    G
Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues

                               C
I laid a divorcee in New York City
   G             A             D
I had to put up some kind of a fight
     G                             C
The lady she all dressed me up in roses
     G                D                G
She blew my nose and then she blew my mind

           D         G
It's the honky tonk women
               D                    G
Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues
           D         G
It's the honky tonk women
               D                    G
Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues
           D         G
It's the honky tonk women
               D                    G
Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues
